A method for output of haptic information to a driver of a motor vehicle via a brake pedal includes ascertaining, based on signals of an environment-sensor system, imminence of a traffic situation that poses a potential risk to the motor vehicle, and modifying, during a driving of the motor vehicle, independent of a driver input, and in response to the ascertained imminence of the traffic situation, a characteristic of the brake pedal of the motor vehicle.

Method and device for the output of haptic information to the driver of a motor vehicle via the brake pedal

A method for braking a vehicle, a braking intervention being performed on at least one wheel of the vehicle, a total brake force for the braking intervention being generated by a hydraulic unit in the vehicle on the one hand, and, on the other hand, by at least one electric motor assigned to the one wheel, which at all times supports the brake force generated by the hydraulic unit, the total brake force being generated by modulating a brake force generated by the hydraulic unit and by modulation of the brake force generated by the electric motor on the at least one wheel, the brake force of the hydraulic unit and the brake force of the electric motor being added to yield the total brake force, and an amount of the particular brake force being controlled by a controller as a function of a driving situation of the vehicle.

The disclosure relates to a threaded shaft for a roller screw drive, for example for an electromechanical brake booster or an electromechanical power steering system. According to the disclosure, a helical coil with a flat, square-threaded annular cross-section is arranged on a thin-walled pipe, the pipe being formed onto a root region of the helical coil by the application of high pressure from the inside of the pipe.

A hydraulic main brake cylinder, preferably having an electro-mechanical brake booster for a brake assembly of a vehicle is disclosed. The main brake cylinder is provided with two pressure rod pistons, preferably nesting within each other, one of which is actuated by muscle power, and the other one is actuated by the brake booster. Furthermore, an energy store is provided, which stores energy when the main brake cylinder is released and then transferred to the main brake cylinder upon the actuation thereof, thus supporting the operation of the main brake cylinder.

A connecting element connects a brake pedal to a brake force amplifier of a vehicle brake system. A helical compression spring as a first spring element and a rubbery-elastic reaction disk as a second spring element are disposed between a pedal rod and a piston rod of the connecting element, the spring elements being installed in series due to the arrangement thereof. Due to the higher spring rate of the reaction disk preferably increasing with load, the connecting element has a progressive spring characteristic line. As soon as the pedal rod contacts the reaction disk the helical compression spring and the reaction disk act in parallel and serially such that the progression of the total spring characteristic line further increases.

A safety system for occupants of a vehicle having, e.g., acceleration sensors and/or pressure sensors for sensing a side crash. The safety system also includes a detector to detect the lateral velocity of the vehicle. The control of the restraining devices of the safety system is able to be influenced by the detected lateral velocity.

Safety system for vehicle occupants

Described is a device for stabilizing a vehicle in critical driving situations, including a vehicle dynamics control system having a control unit, including a vehicle dynamics control algorithm, and at least one actuator and an additional vehicle stability system having an associated actuator. Vehicle dynamics control may be executed in a particularly simple and trouble-free manner when the vehicle dynamics control algorithm is retrofitted with a distribution function which derives an actuating request for an actuator of the vehicle dynamics control system as well as an actuating request for at least one actuator of the vehicle stability system from a controller output variable.

Coordination of a vehicle dynamics control system with other vehicles stability systems

A method for controlling a braking system of a vehicle is described, in which the braking system has at least a first control unit for controlling a first braking force on at least one wheel brake of a wheel of the vehicle, and an accumulator for receiving a pressurized medium, the method including generating the first braking force by at least one of a first hydraulic component and a first pneumatic component, filling the accumulator with the medium independently of the at least one of the first hydraulic component and the first pneumatic components via a relative movement between at least one wheel and a vehicle body, and generating a second braking force at predefinable times on the at least one wheel brake as a function of the filling of the accumulator.
