Braking system and method for braking a vehicle having a hybrid drive

A braking system for a vehicle having a hybrid drive, comprising:

• at least one of (a) a regenerative brake and (b) a service brake adapted to brake at least one wheel of at least one axle of the vehicle;
• and
• a vehicle stability control system adapted to ascertain state variables describing a driving dynamics of the vehicle for which at least one of (a) threshold values and (b) threshold value combinations exist, the vehicle stability control system adapted to effect a wheel-specific braking force control in response to at least one of (a) reaching, (b) exceeding, and (c) undershooting at least one of (a) one of the threshold values and (b) one of the threshold value combinations;
• wherein a predefined maximum regenerative braking force is determinable in accordance with state variables ascertained by the vehicle stability control system, and the regenerative brake is controllable such that the regenerative braking force exerted on the at least one wheel does not exceed the determined predefined maximum regenerative braking force.

A method for braking a vehicle having a hybrid drive, at least one wheel of at least one axle being brakable by a regenerative brake and by a service brake, the vehicle including a vehicle stability control system, comprising:

• ascertaining, by the vehicle stability control system, state variables that describe a driving dynamics of the vehicle for which at least one of (a) threshold values and (b) threshold value combinations;
• effecting, by the vehicle stability control system, a wheel-specific braking force control in response to at least one of (a) reaching, (b) exceeding, and (c) undershooting at least of (a) one of the threshold values and (b) one of the threshold value combinations
• determining a predefined maximum regenerative braking force in accordance with the state variables ascertained by the vehicle stability control system;
• and
• controlling the regenerative brake such that the regenerative braking force exerted on the at least one wheel does not exceed the determined predefined regenerative braking force.
