Abstract
In a method for monitoring the operational reliability of a braking system in a vehicle. A brake pedal actuation is monitored via a brake light switch. An error signal is generated if the brake light switch generates a switch signal, without a braking intent of the driver being registered via a sensor signal of a sensor.
Claims11
A method for monitoring operational reliability of a braking system in a vehicle, the method comprising the following steps:
- monitoring a brake pedal actuation via a brake light switch;
- and
- generating an error signal when the brake light switch generates a switch signal, without a braking intent of a driver being registered at the same time via a sensor signal of a sensor.
A control unit configured to monitor operational reliability of a braking system in a vehicle, the control unit configured to:
- monitor a brake pedal actuation is monitored via a brake light switch;
- and
- generate an error signal when the brake light switch generates a switch signal, without a braking intent of a driver being registered at the same time via a sensor signal of a sensor;
- wherein the control unit is suppliable with sensor information of the brake light switch and of the sensor for registering the braking intent of the driver.
A hydraulic braking system in a vehicle, comprising:
- a brake light switch;
- a sensor whose signal is used to deduce a braking intent of a driver;
- and
- a control unit configured to monitor the operational reliability of a braking system in a vehicle, the control unit configured to:
- monitor a brake pedal actuation via a brake light switch;
- and
- generate an error signal when the brake light switch generates a switch signal, without a braking intent of the driver being registered at the same time via a sensor signal of the sensor;
- wherein the control unit is suppliable with sensor information of the brake light switch and of the sensor for registering the braking intent of the driver.
A vehicle including a hydraulic braking system, the hydraulic braking system including:
- a brake light switch;
- a sensor whose signal is used to deduce a braking intent of a driver;
- and
- a control unit configured to monitor the operational reliability of a braking system in a vehicle, the control unit configured to:
- monitor a brake pedal actuation via a brake light switch;
- and
- generate an error signal when the brake light switch generates a switch signal, without a braking intent of the driver being registered at the same time via a sensor signal of the sensor;
- wherein the control unit is suppliable with sensor information of the brake light switch and of the sensor for registering the braking intent of the driver.
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium on which is stored a computer program having program code for monitoring operational reliability of a braking system in a vehicle, the program code, when executed by a computer, causing the computer to perform the following steps:
- monitoring a brake pedal actuation via a brake light switch;
- and
- generating an error signal when the brake light switch generates a switch signal, without a braking intent of a driver being registered at the same time via a sensor signal of a sensor.
