A vehicle-electrical-apparatus, including: a service-brake-valve-device (SBVD) having an electropneumatic service-brake-device (ESBVD), which is an electronically-brake-pressure-regulated-brake-system (EBPRBS), having an ESBVD, a first-electronic-brake-control-device (EBCD), electropneumatic-modulators (EM) and pneumatic-wheel-brake actuators (PWBA); a sensor-device; the first-EBCD controls the EMs generating pneumatic brake-control-pressures (PBCP) for the PWBAs, and the ESBVD has a service-brake-actuation-member (SBAM) and an electrical-channel containing an electrical-brake-value-transmitter, actuate-able by the SBAM, and a second-EBCD couples brake-request signals into the first-EBCD depending on the AS, and, within a pneumatic-service-brake-circuit, a pneumatic-channel in which a control-piston of the SBVD is loaded with a first-actuation-force (AF) by actuating the service-brake-actuation-member based on a driver brake-request, and the control-piston controls a double-seat valve of the SBVD to generate PBCPs for the PWBAs; generating a second AF that acts on the control-piston; brake slip/driving-dynamics-regulation are in the second-EBCD, the second-EBCD receives sensor-signals, and for braking requested, generating the second AF to perform a brake-slip and/or driving-dynamics-regulation.

Electrical equipment of a vehicle having redundant ABS and driving dynamics control

A steering method for an autonomously steered vehicle having a hybrid steering system, including: identifying a malfunction during an autonomous driving procedure, wherein the hybrid steering system includes a hydraulic steering assistance system, an electromechanical steering assistance system and a control unit for monitoring and controlling the autonomous driving procedure of the vehicle, and switching the steering task by the control unit to a steering braking procedure, by which the vehicle is steered by braking at least one wheel, wherein due to the braking force that is acting on the scrub radius, a steering torque is produced that causes the wheels to turn. Also described is a related a servo-assisted steering assembly.
