A method for operating a driver assistance system of a motor vehicle for assisting detection of objects in an environment of the motor vehicle. The motor vehicle is equipped with a height-adjustable chassis. During a driving maneuver, the height-adjustable chassis is set into a driving position in which an object can be detected at a regular distance from the motor vehicle. During a parking maneuver, the height-adjustable chassis is automatically set into a parking position in which an object can be detected at a smaller distance from the motor vehicle. A device that is configured to carry out the method, and a corresponding computer program, are also described.

Method and device for assisting detection of objects in an environment of a motor vehicle

Examples provide a system and method for controlled deceleration for parking a vehicle. The system includes a parking brake control device, a sensor configured to measure a speed of the vehicle and output a measured vehicle speed, a parking brake, a primary hydraulic system including a primary controller and a primary hydraulic pressure generator, and a secondary hydraulic system including a secondary controller and a secondary hydraulic pressure generator. The secondary controller is configured to determine whether the vehicle is travelling at a non-zero speed while the parking brake control device is actuated. In response to that determination, the secondary controller determines whether hydraulic braking via the primary hydraulic system is available. When hydraulic braking via the primary hydraulic system is not available, the secondary controller controls the secondary hydraulic pressure generator to generate hydraulic braking pressure.

A control method for moving an electromechanical parking brake, according to which method an actuator of the parking brake is moved by actuation by means of an actuator-control unit, wherein a writable, non-volatile memory unit is provided in which position data concerning the current actuator position of the actuator is stored so as to be readable and writable, and according to which method, when a write error occurs while writing the position data to the memory unit, the actuation of the actuator for moving said actuator is continued, and, when the write error is detected, a synchronization process is carried out independently of the actuation of the actuator so that, upon completion of this synchronization process, the position data stored in the memory unit correctly represents the actuator position of the actuator.
