In a method and system for controlling a braking system, equipped with an electric parking brake, for a motor vehicle, the electric parking brake is released in response to an identification of a moving-off operation. A release instant of the electric parking brake is defined in dependence on at least one measured parameter of a clutch engagement operation. In comparison with a method and system in which, for example, the electric parking brake is released in dependence on the actuation of the accelerator by a driver, the method and system permit a more precise coordination of the deactivation of the electric parking brake with the clutch engagement operation, and thus with the moving-off operation of the vehicle, particularly in the case of a vehicle equipped with a manual transmission.
A method for controlling a vehicle braking system equipped with an electric parking brake, wherein the electric parking brake is released in response to the identification of a moving-off operation, a release instant of the electric parking brake being defined in dependence on at least one measured parameter of a clutch engagement operations comprising the steps:
A system for controlling a braking system equipped with an electric parking brake, which system is set up to release the electric parking brake in response to the identification of a moving-off operation, the system comprises a device for detecting at least one parameter of a clutch engagement operation, and being set up to define a release instant of the electric parking brake in dependence on the at least one measured parameter of the clutch engagement operation, wherein the system is set up to determine a first time interval from the start of the clutch engagement operation until a clutch operating instant and to define the release instant of the electric parking brake such that it precedes the clutch operating instant by a second, predetermined, time interval.
A method for controlling a vehicle braking system that is equipped with an electric parking brake, comprising releasing the electric parking brake in response to the identification of a moving-off operation, wherein a release instant of the electric parking brake is defined in dependence on at least one measured parameter of a clutch engagement operation.
A system for controlling a braking system equipped with an electric parking brake, which system is set up to release the electric parking brake in response to the identification of a moving-off operation, wherein the system comprises a device for detecting at least one parameter of a clutch engagement operation, and is set up to define a release instant of the electric parking brake in dependence on the at least one parameter of the clutch engagement operation.
