Abstract
A comfort braking control system for a vehicle includes a plurality of configurable braking thresholds that define a progressive application of braking force prior to emergency braking. The system determines a distance to collision and calculates a comfort braking time period before emergency braking would be required. This time period is divided into multiple intervals based on a number of thresholds, with braking force incrementally increased during each interval until reaching maximum braking power at emergency brake time. This progressive approach provides a smoother deceleration profile that enhances occupant comfort while still ensuring effective collision prevention.
