An apparatus for operating an electric parking brake of a vehicle includes a generator and a control device. The generator is designed to provide energy for supplying the electric parking brake of the vehicle with energy, and the control device is designed to activate the generator for supplying the electric parking brake with energy depending on a result of a monitoring of an energy supply to the electric parking brake.

Apparatus and method for operating an electric parking brake of a vehicle

A method is described for operating a vehicle, the driverlessly driving vehicle halting in response to an emergency stop signal in the context of driverless driving of the vehicle within a parking facility, the method being free of a step of checking whether halting is necessary. A corresponding apparatus is described for operating a vehicle, and to a vehicle. A method is described for operating a parking facility for vehicles, and to a corresponding parking facility. A computer program is also described.

Method and device for operating a vehicle, and method for operating a parking area

The invention relates to a method for preventing tip-over of a motor vehicle in the lateral direction,

Method and apparatus for eliminating a motor vehicle tip-over risk

A method for improving the efficiency of a driving dynamics regulating system which intervenes in the driving operation in critical driving situations by automatic braking intervention at selected wheels. It is possible for the reaction speed of the brake systemto be considerably increased if, before the actual regulating intervention, the imminent critical driving situation is already detected and a slight preparatory brake pressure is already built up at least one wheel at which a future regulating intervention is expected.

Regulation of driving dynamics, featuring advanced build-up of pressure at the wheel to be regulated

In a rollover stability method for a vehicle in a situation which is critical with respect to the driving dynamics, a critical rollover situation is detected by analyzing a control variable and the stabilization intervention is activated or de-activated as a function of the control variable. The regulation intervention is maintained even in driving situations featuring relatively low transverse acceleration if the control variable or a characteristic property of the stability algorithm is calculated as a function of the steering angle and/or the longitudinal vehicle velocity.
