A braking system for a vehicle has a disc brake having a brake disc having a disc brake caliper and a pair of pads, an electric actuator operatively connected to a piston acting as a pusher on at least one of the pads, and a processing and control unit operatively connected to the electric actuator and programmed to move the piston and respective pad to a forward position to press the pad into contact with the brake disc during a braking demand, and bring the piston and respective pad to a rest or rearward position. A gap is identified between the pad and the brake disc. The processing and control unit is programmed to implement an algorithm that, in absence of a braking demand, operates the electric actuator by varying the gap according to at least one dynamic parameter of the vehicle defining a prediction of a braking demand.
