ABSTRACT:
A method of brake control, comprising the steps of: determining a deceleration of a vehicle; measuring a first wheel rotational velocity of a front wheel of the vehicle; measuring a second wheel rotational velocity of a rear wheel of the vehicle; determining a front wheel normalization value responsive to the deceleration and a front tire deformation constant; determining a rear wheel normalization value responsive to the deceleration and a rear tire deformation constant; determining a front normalized wheel rotational velocity responsive to the front wheel normalization value and the first wheel rotational velocity, wherein the front normalized wheel rotational velocity is responsive to a front tire deformation that occurs during a braking maneuver of the vehicle; determining a rear normalized wheel rotational velocity responsive to the rear wheel normalization value and the second wheel rotational velocity, wherein the rear normalized wheel rotational velocity is responsive to a rear tire deformation that occurs during a braking maneuver of the vehicle; subtracting the front normalized wheel rotational velocity from the rear normalized wheel rotational velocity to determine a difference; and adjusting front to rear brake proportioning responsive to the difference, wherein front to rear brake proportioning is responsive to tire deformation that occurs during a braking maneuver.
