Abstract
A method and system for controlling the overall brake bias in a vehicle braking system having both frictional and regenerative braking devices. The method comprises receiving a brake bias command and determining a desired brake bias based on the brake bias command. The method further comprises changing the brake bias in the vehicle braking system to achieve the desired brake bias through the operation of one or more regenerative braking devices. The system comprises one or more regenerative braking devices, each configured to apply negative torque to one of a first axle or a second axle of the vehicle, and an electronic module, for example, an electronic brake control module (EBCM) that is configured to perform the above-described methodology.
