A system for controlling a brake force of a vehicle. In one embodiment, the system includes an electronic control unit including a controller, a plurality of sensors in electronic communication with the controller. Each of the sensors transmits sensor data to the controller. A user interface and a driver recognition system are in electronic communication with the controller, and a computer readable memory stores instructions executed by the controller. The instructions cause the controller to evaluate a driver identification data received from the driver recognition system, a driver preference data received from the user interface, and the sensor data received from the sensors. The instructions further cause the controller to classify and select a driver or a driving pattern class, execute a control algorithm to determine a driver dependent brake force based on at least one of the selected driver or driving pattern class, the driver preference data, and the driver identification data, and to regulate the brake force of the vehicle based on the driver dependent brake force.
