A device for an automatic parking brake includes a first microchip and a second microchip. The first microchip and the second microchip are configured to actuate an end stage of the automatic parking brake. The first microchip and the second microchip are configured in a redundant manner with respect to one another in relation to actuating the end stage.

Method and device for a highly available automatic parking brake

A brake motor control device for control of an electric brake motor of an electromechanical braking device includes a connection unit configured to be connected to an auxiliary control unit for controlling the electric brake motor in an event of a fault of the brake motor control device. The electric brake motor is configured to displace a brake piston against a brake disc.

Brake-motor control unit, braking system for a vehicle having an electric brake motor, and method for the control of the brake-motor control unit

A method for operating a vehicle, the vehicle including at least one friction brake unit, including a brake body and at least one brake element, the brake body being rotatably fixedly connected to a wheel of the vehicle and the brake element being situated on the chassis side and being displaceable in the direction of the brake body. The brake element is pressed against the brake body for generating a friction braking action, and an actual vehicle parameter resulting from the friction brake action being monitored for vibrations with the aid of at least one sensor unit. When detecting a vibration, the frequency of the vibrations is compared with the rotational speed of the wheel, and at least one safety measure is carried out in a third step if the comparison indicates that the frequency is equal to or greater than the rotational speed of the wheel.

Method for operating a vehicle, vehicle

A method for determining a maximum speed of a vehicle during a parking maneuver, in which at least one surroundings condition is detected with the aid of at least one sensor unit and supplied to a control unit as an input variable.

Method for determining a maximum speed of a vehicle during a parking maneuver

An automatic braking device for a vehicle and a method for automatically braking a vehicle. The vehicle is automatically braked using at least one friction brake of the vehicle in such a way that a brake force that is effectuated by the at least one friction brake is increased, at least at times, with a predefined maximum brake force buildup gradient and/or up to a predefined maximum brake force. At least when no emergency braking situation is present, it is ascertained prior to the automatic braking whether the vehicle at that moment is traveling through a specified or self-determined particulate matter protection area, and, if necessary, the brake force that is effectuated with the aid of the at least one friction brake is increased at most with a predefined or set limiting brake force buildup gradient and/or at most up to a predefined or set limiting brake force.

Automatic braking device for a vehicle and method for automatically braking a vehicle

A method for operating a motor vehicle having partial/full autonomous driving, having a plurality of wheels, a drive system for producing a drive torque at at least one of the wheels, and a brake system for producing at least one holding force for holding still at least one of the wheels, a rotational speed sensor being allocated to at least one of the wheels, which sensor produces a respective signal pulse for each of a plurality of positions of angular rotation of the associated wheel, a specifiable driving maneuver being performed as a function of the produced signal pulses. For a short path driving process starting from a standstill, the brake force is reduced until the rotational speed sensor produces a first signal pulse, and is then held at least temporarily constant until a specified number of signal pulses is produced, and subsequently is increased up to the holding force.

Method and device for operating a motor vehicle capable of partly or fully autonomous driving

A method for operating an electric parking brake includes feeding a timing sequence of changes in current to terminals of an interface for an operator control element for the parking brake. The method further includes performing at least one current measurement at at least one terminal of the interface during the feeding of one of the changes in current. The method further includes determining a driver's request as a function of the at least one current measurement. The method further includes operating the electric parking brake as a function of the determined driver's request.

Method for operating a parking brake and control device for operating a parking brake

A method for operating an electric parking brake includes determining a fault relating to a first control unit which in a normal operating mode operates the electric parking brake. The method further includes operating a second control unit in an emergency operating mode as a function of the determined fault and determining a state for an operator control element of the parking brake using the second control unit and operating the parking brake as a first function of the determined state of the operator control element using the second control unit in the emergency operating mode.
