Abstract
A method for operating a brake of a motor vehicle, wherein the brake has an actuator, which moves to positions along a path, wherein a braking torque/travel characteristic curve is recorded while the motor vehicle is in motion and is used for keeping the motor vehicle stationary is disclosed. Also an associated brake assembly and an associated storage medium are disclosed.
Claims10
A method for operating a parking brake (TB) of a motor vehicle, comprising:
- recording at least one of a braking torque and travel characteristic curve of the brake while the motor vehicle is in motion,
- ascertaining a corresponding position of an actuator at which the actuator generates a specified braking torque for keeping the motor vehicle stationary, and
- moving the actuator to the corresponding position.
A parking brake assembly for a motor vehicle comprising:
- an actuator, and an electronic control device which is configured to execute steps comprising:
- recording at least one of a braking torque and travel characteristic curve of the brake while the motor vehicle is in motion,
- ascertaining a corresponding position of an actuator at which the actuator generates a specified braking torque for keeping the motor vehicle stationary, and
- moving the actuator to the corresponding position.
A non-volatile, computer-readable storage medium containing program code that, when executed, results in a processor executing steps comprising:
- recording at least one of a braking torque and travel characteristic curve of a parking brake while a motor vehicle is in motion,
- ascertaining a corresponding position of an actuator at which the actuator generates a specified braking torque for keeping the motor vehicle stationary and
- moving the actuator to the corresponding position.
