Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A method for optimizing the meterability of brake force in an ABS braking with a brake-by-wire brake system. The method includes various steps. First, a driver brake request is sensed by a pedal force simulator. In addition, a trigger point (A) of an ABS braking is recognized. In the case of a recognized ABS braking, there is a correction of the sensed driver brake request such that, upon recognizing the trigger point (A) during a reduction of the sensed driver brake request, the corrected driver brake request is reduced to the extent that ABS braking is no longer present. The corrected driver brake request is subsequently implemented by building up a corresponding brake pressure in a brake device of the brake system.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A method for optimizing meterability of brake force in ABS braking with a brake-by-wire brake system, said method comprising the steps of: sensing a driver brake request by way of a pedal force simulator, identifying a trigger point (A) of the ABS braking, correcting the sensed driver brake request such that, upon identifying the trigger point (A) during a reduction of the sensed driver brake request, the corrected driver brake request is reduced to an extent that ABS braking is no longer present, and implementing the corrected driver brake request by building up a corresponding brake pressure in a brake device of the brake system. 2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the correction of the sensed driver brake request is carried out such that, after identifying the trigger point (A), the corrected driver brake request is not increased via the sensed driver brake request at the trigger point (A). 3. The method according to claim 2 , wherein the correction of the sensed driver brake request is carried out such that, after sensing a certain limit pedal stroke, a difference between the corrected driver brake request and the sensed driver brake request decreases. 4. The method according to claim 2 , wherein the correction of the sensed driver brake request is carried out such that, after a certain difference between the sensed and corrected driver brake request, the corrected driver brake request is formed such that the difference between the corrected driver brake request and the sensed driver brake request is reduced. 5. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the reduction of the corrected driver brake request is carried out to a same extent as the reduction of the driver brake request, starting from the trigger point (A). 6. The method according to claim 1 , wherein, in a sensed maximum pedal stroke, the corrected driver brake request corresponds to the sensed driver brake request. 7. The method according to claim 1 , wherein, after identifying the trigger point (A), the brake pedal is vibrated by way of a dedicated mechanical actuator. 8. The method according to claim 1 , wherein, after identifying the trigger point (A), an optical and/or audible and/or haptic feedback is provided to a driver. 9. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the sensing of the driver brake request is carried out by measuring a pedal force and/or a pedal stroke and/or a pedal angle. 10. A computer-implemented method for optimizing meterability of brake force in ABS braking with a brake-by-wire brake system, comprising the method steps according to claim 1 .
