Zusammenfassung:A system, method, and apparatus for brake load alleviation amongst at least one first brake and at least one second brake is disclosed. The method involves sensing an amount of brake pedal application in response to engagement of at least brake pedal (820). The method further involves determining whether the amount of brake pedal application is greater than a brake pedal application threshold value (830). Also, the method involves generating a brake application profile, when it is determined that the amount of brake pedal application is greater than the brake pedal application threshold value (840). The brake application profile indicates that actuation of at least one first brake is delayed by a first time delay, and that actuation of at least one second brake is delayed by a second time delay. Further, the method involves actuating at least one first brake and at least one second brake according to the brake application profile.
