ABSTRACT:
A method is provided for modifying anti-lock brake control to a vehicle braking on a surface having a split-mu to higher-mu transition. The time duration of the apply stage of an anti-lock brake system cycle is measured for the two front wheels. The measured apply stage durations are compared to a selected threshold. The transition from the split-mu surface to the higher-mu surface is detected when the apply stage duration for the lower-mu wheel exceeds the selected threshold. An increased brake pressure rate is applied to both front wheels when the split-mu to high-mu transition is detected.
