Abstract
A method for learning braking step threshold values of a sustained-action brake includes detecting a braking requirement setpoint, controlling the sustained-action brake with the braking requirement setpoint to generate a braking effect variable of the sustained-action brake, and detecting a sustained-action brake actual braking effect variable and a maximum sustained-action brake braking effect. The method additionally includes forming a braking effect variable coefficient that characterizes a ratio of the sustained-action brake actual braking effect variable and the maximum sustained-action brake braking effect variable that results from control of the sustained-action brake with the braking requirement setpoint, and assigning the braking effect variable coefficient to a braking step of the sustained-action brake such that each braking step is assigned only one braking effect variable. Additionally, the method includes storing the braking requirement setpoint that results in the braking effect variable coefficient.
