Redundant braking system and method for operating such a braking system

A method for operating a brake system for acquiring at least one status variable for controlling the brake system, the method comprising:

• testing whether a switch-over condition is satisfied, wherein the brake system includes:
• a primary control means for controlling the brake system by at least one actuator and taking into account the at least one status variable;
• and
• a redundancy control means for controlling the brake system by part of the at least one actuator and taking into account part of the at least one status variable;
• wherein the brake system is configured such that, when at least one switch-over condition is satisfied, the brake system is no longer controlled exclusively by the primary control means and is at least partially controlled by the redundancy control means;
• and changing over the control of the brake system from the primary control means at least partially to the redundancy control means when a switch-over condition is satisfied.

A non-transitory computer readable medium having a computer program, which is executable by a processor, comprising:

• a program code arrangement having program code for operating a brake system for acquiring at least one status variable for controlling the brake system, by performing the following:
• testing whether a switch-over condition is satisfied, wherein the brake system includes:
• a primary control means for controlling the brake system by at least one actuator and taking into account the at least one status variable;
• and
• a redundancy control means for controlling the brake system by part of the at least one actuator and taking into account part of the at least one status variable;
• wherein the brake system is configured such that, when at least one switch-over condition is satisfied, the brake system is no longer controlled exclusively by the primary control means and is at least partially controlled by the redundancy control means;
• and changing over the control of the brake system from the primary control means at least partially to the redundancy control means when a switch-over condition is satisfied.
