Abstract
Method for operating an automated hand brake comprising at least one first actuator and one second actuator for a motor vehicle, wherein each of the actuators is activated for an operation using a defined amperage, is characterized in that, in a first phase, the actuators are operated essentially synchronously until a defined first amperage is reached and, in a subsequent phase, the actuators are sequentially operated until a defined second amperage is reached.
Claims11
A method for operating an automated hand brake having at least one first actuator and at least one second actuator for a motor vehicle, the method comprising:
- activating each of the at least one first actuator and the at least one second actuator using a defined amperage during a braking process;
- in a first phase of the braking process, operating the at least one first actuator and the at least one second actuator essentially synchronously until a defined first amperage is reached;
- and
- in a subsequent phase of the braking process after the first phase, operating the at least one first actuator and the at least one second actuator sequentially until a defined second amperage is reached.
A device for operating an automated hand brake having at least one first actuator and at least one second actuator for a motor vehicle, the device being configured to:
- activate each of the at least one first actuator and the at least one second actuator using a defined amperage during a braking process;
- in a first phase of the braking process, operate the at least one first actuator and the at least one second actuator essentially synchronously until a defined first amperage is reached;
- and
- in a subsequent phase of the braking process after the first phase, operate the at least one first actuator and the at least one second actuator sequentially operated until a defined second amperage is reached.
A non-transitory machine-readable storage medium having stored thereon a computer program for execution by a control unit of a stability system for operating an automated hand brake having at least one first actuator and at least one second actuator for a motor vehicle, the computer program being configured cause the control unit to:
- activate each of the at least one first actuator and the at least one second actuator using a defined amperage during a braking process;
- in a first phase of the braking process, operate the at least one first actuator and the at least one second actuator essentially synchronously until a defined first amperage is reached;
- and
- in a subsequent phase of the braking process after the first phase, operate the at least one first actuator and the at least one second actuator sequentially operated until a defined second amperage is reached.
