Abstract
An electrical, decentralized braking system includes at least four sensors for sensing the actuation of a brake actuating device; one braking module for each vehicle wheel, for acquiring sensor data and for controlling braking of the wheel; at least one first communication device with which all braking modules are connected to one another for the exchange of data; an electrical connecting device by which each sensor is connected to at least one braking module; and at least one further communication device for receiving and/or exchanging data between at least two braking modules of different sides of the vehicle.

A decentralized electrical braking system, comprising:
- at least four sensors for sensing an actuation of a brake actuating device;
- at least four wheel-braking modules, each wheel-braking module being assigned to a corresponding vehicle wheel and acquiring sensor data and controlling braking of the corresponding vehicle wheel;
- at least one first communication device connecting all four wheel-braking modules to one another for exchange of data;
- an electrical connecting device for connecting each sensor to at least one wheel-braking module;
- and
- at least one further communication device for facilitating at least one of receiving and exchanging data between at least two wheel-braking modules associated with opposite lateral sides of the vehicle.
