ABSTRACT:
Methods and apparatus for decelerating and/or stopping a vehicle are disclosed. A vehicle in accordance with an exemplary embodiment of the invention may include a first wheel, a second wheel, and a brake system capable of applying a first braking force to the first wheel and a second braking force to the second wheel such that a ratio of the second braking force to the first braking force is equal to a pre-selected braking force ratio. The vehicle may also include a second brake input mechanism capable of varying the ratio of the second braking force to the first braking force.
