Disclosed is a method for controlling a brake system () of a motor vehicle having an electric-regenerative brake, in particular a generator (), and a number of hydraulic friction brakes () driven by at least one brake pressure generating means by way of a braking medium (B). The brake system is controlled so that the total deceleration of the brake system is composed of deceleration components of the friction brakes () and the electric-regenerative brake, thus achieving maximum brake comfort. The braking medium (B) is discharged into a pressure accumulator () when braking with an electric-regenerative brake.

Method for controlling a brake system of a motor vehicle

A braking pressure boosting device is suggested, in particular for automotive vehicles, which includes a boost sensor for sensing or identifying the point of maximum boosting of the braking pressure boosting device. By using the boost sensor, ad signal is generated reporting the point of maximum boosting. This invention permits the manufacture of high-performance braking force boosting devices requiring minimal space and opens up new potential for economizing.

Process and system for retaining a vehicle on an inclined roadway

A brake pressure controller for a hydraulic vehicle brake system includes a master brake cylinder (1), a wheel brake cylinder (10, 11) connected thereto through a brake conduit (5), and a branch conduit (8, 9) which is provided in the brake conduit (5) between the master brake cylinder (1) and the wheel brake cylinder (10, 11). The brake system includes control valves (12, 14) and a pump (16) returning pressure fluid from a return conduit (15) into the brake conduit (5). At least one valve (6) is provided between the master brake cylinder (1) and the branch conduit (8, 9), which valve, in a first mode of operation, connects the outlet (17) of the pump (16) to the master brake cylinder (1) and, in a second mode of operation, discontinues the connection from the outlet (17) of the pump (16) to the master brake cylinder (1) and connects the inlet (24) of the pump (16) to the master brake cylinder (1) or a reservoir (4). The inlet (24) of the pump (16) includes a pressure holding valve (20), the opening pressure of which, in the first mode of operation, is above atmospheric pressure and, in the second mode of operation, is reduced to permit an automatic intake of pressure fluid to the pump (16).

Anti-lock hydraulic brake system

A hydraulic servo brake system with slip control. Brake circuits (18, 22, 25) with supply valves (28, 32, 35) and discharge valves (29, 33, 36) for the control of the wheel cylinder pressures during slip control are provided. Throttle points (38) are arranged within the supply valves. Each supply valve is bridged by an auxiliary valve (31, 34, 37) which is switchable into the closed position when the slip control action sets in. In this manner, the pressure gradient for the brake pressure build-up in the wheel cylinders is high before the slip control and low during the slip control.
