Abstract
A device regulates a pneumatic brake pressure of a vehicle and includes an inlet opening configured to be connected to a pressure accumulator, at least one outlet opening configured to be connected to a brake device to activate same, and at least two actuator elements arranged between the inlet opening and the at least one outlet opening and configured to influence a brake pressure between the inlet opening and the at least one outlet opening. In addition, a control device, a system, a brake system, a method and a computer program product are disclosed.
Claims16
A device for influencing a brake pressure of a vehicle, comprising:
- an inlet opening configured to be connected to a pressure accumulator;
- at least one outlet opening configured to be connected to a brake device in order to activate same, and
- at least two actuator elements arranged between the inlet opening and the at least one outlet opening and configured to influence a brake pressure between the inlet opening and the at least one outlet opening.
A method for influencing a brake pressure with a device for influencing a brake pressure of a vehicle, the device having an inlet opening configured to be connected to a pressure accumulator, at least one outlet opening configured to be connected to a brake device in order to activate same, and at least two actuator elements arranged between the inlet opening and the at least one outlet opening and configured to influence a brake pressure between, wherein the method comprises:
- selecting granularity,
- selecting strategy, and
- carrying out the influencing of the brake pressure.
A non-transitory computer program product having a program code configured to run on a control device for selecting actuator elements of a device for influencing a brake pressure of a vehicle, wherein the control device has a selection controller configured to make a selection of the actuator elements to be controlled, the controller being positioned between the inlet opening and the at least one outlet opening, and at least one input interface configured to receive values of at least one state variable of the device and/or of the vehicle, and at least one output interface configured to transmit control variables to the device to the at least one controller, a controller, a microcontroller, an FPGA or a hardware based implementation of a data processing system, in a vehicle, to cause the vehicle to select granularity, select strategy, and carrying out the influencing of the brake pressure.
