    Abstract: A method of operating an automatic speed control system of a vehicle in accordance with a set-speed. The method comprises receiving electrical signal(s) representative of a vehicle occupant-initiated brake command to slow the vehicle to a stop, and in response, suspending automatic speed control in accordance with said set-speed and commanding the application of a retarding torque to one or more wheels of the vehicle to bring the vehicle to a stop, while maintaining the speed control system in an active state. The method further comprises receiving electrical signal(s) representative of a vehicle occupant-initiated brake release command, and in response, and while maintaining the speed control system in an active state, automatically commanding the generation of drive torque sufficient to propel the vehicle in an intended direction and automatically controlling the speed of the vehicle in accordance with said set-speed.

    Abstract: A method for autonomous emergency braking in a road vehicle to avoid or reduce the severity of an accident includes measuring the speed of the vehicle during autonomous emergency braking and additionally determining vehicle speed independent of the wheel rotational speeds of the vehicle. In this way, the vehicle speed can be determined sufficiently accurately even in the cases in which, as a result of sharp autonomous braking, the vehicle speed is higher than the wheel rotational speeds.

    Abstract: A method of decelerating a vehicle equipped with both regenerative powertrain braking from a motor/generator and friction braking from fluid pumped through a brake circuit. A deceleration demand is received, and regenerative braking torque is ramped up in response to the deceleration demand. The brake circuit is pre-charged during the ramping up of regenerative braking torque. Pre-charging the brake circuit includes pumping fluid to at least one wheel cylinder braking device to reduce the required pump speed and resulting noise for any subsequent braking demand on the brake circuit. The pump is actuated to operate at a predetermined speed that maintains noise and vibration below predetermined levels.
