Abstract
A method for operating an electromechanical brake booster of a brake system of a vehicle. A virtual dynamic brake pressure value representing a driver braking request of a driver of the vehicle is determined in a control unit of the brake booster using a pedal travel of a brake pedal of the vehicle acquired at the brake booster, a clearance value of the brake system read in via a data bus of the vehicle from a brake control unit of the brake system, and a stiffness factor of the brake system read in via the data bus from the brake control unit.

A method for operating an electromechanical brake booster of a brake system of a vehicle, the method comprising:
- determining, in a control unit of the brake booster, a virtual dynamic brake pressure value representing a driver braking request of a driver of the vehicle, using a pedal travel of a brake pedal of the vehicle acquired at the brake booster, a clearance value of the brake system read in via a data bus of the vehicle from a brake control unit of the brake system, and a stiffness factor of the brake system read in via the data bus from the brake control unit.
A control unit for an electromechanical brake booster, the control unit of the electromechanical brake booster being configured to:
- determine, in the control unit of the brake booster, a virtual dynamic brake pressure value representing a driver braking request of a driver of the vehicle, using a pedal travel of a brake pedal of the vehicle acquired at the brake booster, a clearance value of the brake system read in via a data bus of the vehicle from a brake control unit of the brake system, and a stiffness factor of the brake system read in via the data bus from the brake control unit.
A non-transitory machine-readable storage medium on which is stored a computer program for operating an electromechanical brake booster of a brake system of a vehicle, the computer program, when executed by a processor, causing the processor to perform:
- determining, in a control unit of the brake booster, a virtual dynamic brake pressure value representing a driver braking request of a driver of the vehicle, using a pedal travel of a brake pedal of the vehicle acquired at the brake booster, a clearance value of the brake system read in via a data bus of the vehicle from a brake control unit of the brake system, and a stiffness factor of the brake system read in via the data bus from the brake control unit.
