Abstract
A braking system includes a brake travel sensor configured to generate travel data indicative of the distance a brake pedal has been displaced and a brake pressure sensor configured to generate force data indicative of the amount of force applied to the brake pedal. The braking system also comprises a brake controller configured to determine a first torque request from the travel data and a second torque request from the force data. The brake controller is further configured to generate brake commands from the first torque request when the first torque request and the second torque request are below a transition flag.
