Abstract
A method for operating the brake system of an electric motor powered vehicle, in particular a floor trolley, in which a driving axle (1) comprises a brake mechanism for each drive output side (3, 4), is such that the two brake mechanisms of the driving axle (1) are controlled separately as a function of the steering angle in such a manner that a smaller turning circle radius (R1) is obtained by virtue of the different rotation speeds of the wheels (5, 6) of the driving axle (1).

A method for operating a brake system of a vehicle powered by electric motor, in particular a floor trolley, in which a driving axle comprises a brake mechanism for each drive output side, the two brake mechanisms of the driving axle (1) are controlled separately as a function of a steering angle in such manner that a smaller turning circle radius (R1) is obtained by virtue of different rotation speeds of wheels (5, 6) of the driving axle (1).
A method of operating a brake system of a vehicle powered by an electric motor, the method comprising the steps:
- providing the vehicle with a driving axle having a first drive output side and a second drive output side;
- providing the first drive output side with a first brake mechanism and the second drive output side with a second brake mechanism with the first brake mechanism and the second brake mechanism being independent;
- controlling the first brake mechanism and the second brake mechanism independently as a function of a steering angle such that a rotational speed of the first drive output side is different than a rotational speed of the second drive output side.
