Abstract
A method for operating a brake system of a motor vehicle, comprises a hydraulic operational brake device that has hydraulically-actuatable wheel brakes on at least one front axle of the motor vehicle, a parking brake device having wheel brakes on a rear axle of the motor vehicle, each of which can be actuated by means of an electromechanical actuator, and wheel speed sensors on the wheels of said front and rear axles. During braking by means of said hydraulic operational brake device while the vehicle is travelling, braking is carried out by said parking brake device.
Claims21
A method for operating a brake system of a motor vehicle comprising:
- providing a hydraulic service brake device with hydraulically operated wheel brakes on at least one front axle of the motor vehicle;
- providing a parking brake device with wheel brakes and operating each with an electromechanical actuator on a rear axle of the motor vehicle;
- measuring wheel revolutions with wheel revolution rate sensors on the wheels of the front and rear axles;
- and
- braking with the parking brake device during braking by the hydraulic service brake device while the motor vehicle is travelling.
A brake system for a motor vehicle with a hydraulic service brake device comprising:
- a plurality of hydraulically operated wheel brakes on at least one front axle,
- a parking brake device with wheel brakes on a rear axle, each actuated by an electromechanical actuator,
- a plurality of wheel revolution rate sensors on the wheels of the front and rear axles and
- an electronic control and regulating unit wherein the braking is carried out in the electronic control and regulating unit.
