Method for controlling braking of vehicle
A method includes i) receiving, by a processor device of a computer system, a signal corresponding to a release of an accelerator, ii) receiving, by the processor device, a signal corresponding to a first tap on a brake pedal, said first tap comprising an initiated physical interaction with the brake pedal and a subsequent release of the physical interaction with the brake pedal, iii) determining, by the processor device, a second braking torque, iv) applying the second braking torque as a response to the first tap on the brake pedal, and maintaining the applied braking torque after said tap on the brake pedal.
1 . A computer-implemented method, comprising:
receiving, by a processor device of a computer system, a signal corresponding to a release of an accelerator,
receiving, by the processor device, a signal corresponding to a first tap on a brake pedal, said first tap comprising an initiated physical interaction with the brake pedal and a subsequent release of the physical interaction with the brake pedal,
determining, by the processor device, a requested braking torque, resulting in a predetermined requested braking torque,
applying the predetermined requested braking torque as a response to the first tap on the brake pedal,
maintaining the applied braking torque after said tap on the brake pedal,
receiving, by the processor device, a signal corresponding to a second tap on the brake pedal, said second tap comprising an initiated physical interaction with the brake pedal and a subsequent release of the physical interaction with the brake pedal,
determining, by the processor device, an updated braking torque being a non-zero torque, and
updating the predetermined requested braking torque by applying the updated braking torque as a response to the second tap on the brake pedal.

5 . The method of claim 1 , wherein receiving a signal corresponding to a tap on the brake pedal further comprises:
determining an action on the brake pedal by a pressure within a predetermined pressure threshold interval and/or for a time period within a predetermined time threshold interval.
6 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
determining, by the processor device, a vehicle speed being above a predetermined speed threshold before applying the predetermined requested braking torque.
7 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
receiving, by the processor device, a release signal, and
releasing the predetermined requested braking torque as a response to said release signal.
