Abstract
A method for operating an at least semi-automated mobile platform which includes wheels, a braking system, and an acceleration sensor that generates acceleration values. The braking system, using a holding force, cooperates with the wheels in such a way that the platform is selectively fixed in a position. Each wheel includes a rotation angle sensor that generates a signal pulse based on a rotational position of the wheel. The method includes: reducing an initial holding force of the wheels, corresponding to an initial value of a control gradient; controlling the control gradient based on the acceleration values when the rotation angle sensor of a wheel has generated a first signal pulse; increasing the holding force of at least one of the wheels corresponding to a fixation gradient when the rotation angle sensor of a set of further wheels of the wheels has generated a signal pulse, to fix the platform.
