Abstract:
A vehicle control system may include a brake module operably coupled to a braking system of the vehicle to provide a braking torque request to the braking system, a steering module operably coupled to a steering system of the vehicle to provide a steering input request to the steering system, a power supply, and a power management module. The power supply may be operably coupled to the brake module and the steering module to provide power to the brake module and the steering module. The power supply may have a power budget indicating a maximum power providable to the brake module and the steering module. The power management module may be operably coupled to one or more sensors to receive a power draw indication from one of the brake module or the steering module and control power draw of the other of the steering module or the brake module to maintain a combined power draw of the brake module and the steering module below the power budget.
