Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The disclosure relates to a method for adapting a control strategy of a slip-control system of a brake system of a vehicle in a μ-split situation, in which different wheel-specific brake pressures, are set at opposite wheels of a vehicle axle. The resulting brake pressure difference is limited. In some examples, to generate a brake pressure request, a maximum pressure difference value deviating from a reference pressure difference with a predefined tolerance value is determined on a wheel-specific basis for the wheels lying opposite one another. The reference pressure difference corresponds to the value of the current low-pass-filtered brake pressure difference, and the brake pressure request for each wheel is determined as a minimum of the wheel-specific brake pressure determined from the control strategy of the slip-control system, and from the sum of the average brake pressure of the wheel lying opposite and the wheel-specific maximum pressure difference value.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A method for adapting a control strategy of a slip control system of a brake system of a vehicle in a μ-split situation, in which wheel-specific brake pressures (P req, wdc, i+1, 0 ,P req, wdc, i+1, 1 ) that are defined differently from the control strategy of the slip control system are set at opposite vehicle wheels (LM-wheel 0, HM-wheel 1) of a vehicle axle, and in doing so a resulting brake pressure difference is limited, wherein: determining a maximum wheel-specific pressure difference value (p diff, i+1, 0 , p diff, i+1, 1 ) for producing a brake pressure demand (P req, i+1, 0, P req, i+1, 1 ) for the opposite vehicle wheels (LM-wheel 0, HM-wheel 1), where the maximum wheel-specific pressure difference value (p diff, i+1, 0, p diff, i+1, 1 ) deviates with a predetermined tolerance value (P tol ) from a reference pressure difference (p 01 ), the reference pressure difference corresponds to a value of a current low-pass filtered brake pressure difference (p filt, diff, i ), and determining the brake pressure demand for each of the vehicle wheels (LM-wheel 0, HM-wheel 1), which includes a minimum of the wheel-specific brake pressure that is determined from the control strategy of the slip control system, and a sum of: the wheel-specific brake pressure for the opposite vehicle wheel that is determined from the control strategy of the slip control systems, and the maximum wheel-specific pressure difference value (p diff, i+1, 0, p diff, i+1, 1 ), where the maximum wheel-specific pressure difference value (p diff, i+1, 0, p diff, i+1, 1 ) deviates from the value of the current low-pass filtered brake pressure difference (p filt, diff i ) by the predetermined tolerance value (p tol ). 2. The method of claim 1 , wherein, identical tolerance values are used for the determination of the maximum wheel-specific pressure difference value for the opposite vehicle wheels. 3. The method of claim 1 , wherein different tolerance values are used for the determination of the maximum wheel-specific pressure difference value for the opposite vehicle wheels. 4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the brake pressure difference is modified depending on a difference of accelerations of two mutually opposite vehicle wheels and is then low-pass filtered. 5. A method for adapting a control strategy of a slip control system of a brake system of a vehicle in a μ-split situation, in which wheel-specific brake pressures (P req, wdc, 1+1, 0, P req, wdc, i+1, 1 ) that are defined differently from the control strategy of the slip control system are set at opposite vehicle wheels (LM-wheel 0, HM-wheel 1) of a vehicle axle, and in doing so a resulting brake pressure difference is limited, wherein: determining a maximum wheel-specific pressure difference value (p diff, i+1, 0, p diff, i+1, 1 ) for producing a brake pressure demand (P req, i+1, 0, P req, i+1, 1 ) for the opposite vehicle wheels (LM-wheel 0, HM-wheel 1), where the maximum wheel-specific pressure difference value (p diff, i+1, 0, p diff, i+1, 1 ) deviates with a predetermined tolerance value (p tol ) from a reference pressure difference (p 01 ), the reference pressure difference corresponds to a value of a current low-pass filtered brake pressure difference (p filt, diff, i ), and determining the brake pressure demand for each of the vehicle wheels (LM-wheel 0, HM-wheel 1), which includes a minimum of the wheel-specific brake pressure that is determined from the control strategy of the slip control system, and a sum of: an average brake pressure of the opposite vehicle wheel, and the maximum wheel-specific pressure difference value (p diff, i+1, 0, p diff, i+1, 1 ), where the maximum wheel-specific pressure difference value (p diff, i+1, 0, p diff, i+1, 1 ) deviates from the value of the current low-pass filtered brake pressure difference (p filt, diff i ) by the predetermined tolerance value (p tol ). 6. The method of claim 5 , wherein for the determination of the brake pressure demand, the average brake pressure of the opposite vehicle wheel is modified depending on an average acceleration thereof. 7. The method of claim 6 , wherein, identical tolerance values are used for the determination of the maximum wheel-specific pressure difference value for the opposite vehicle wheels. 8. The method of claim 5 , wherein different tolerance values are used for the determination of the maximum wheel-specific pressure difference value for the opposite vehicle wheels. 9. The method of claim 5 , wherein the brake pressure difference is modified depending on a difference of accelerations of two mutually opposite vehicle wheels and is then low-pass filtered.
