Abstract
A method for operating a brake of a motor vehicle, wherein the brake has an actuator, which moves to positions along a path, wherein a braking torque/travel characteristic curve is recorded while the motor vehicle is in motion and is used for keeping the motor vehicle stationary is disclosed. Also an associated brake assembly and an associated storage medium are disclosed.
Claims10
A method for operating a brake of a motor vehicle comprising:
- recording at least one of a braking torque and travel characteristic curve of the brake while the motor vehicle is in motion,
- ascertaining a corresponding position of an actuator along a path which corresponds to a specified braking torque for keeping the motor vehicle stationary, and
- moving the actuator to the corresponding position.
A brake assembly for a motor vehicle comprising:
- an actuator, and
- an electronic control device, which is configured to execute steps comprising:
- recording at least one of a braking torque and travel characteristic curve of the brake while the motor vehicle is in motion,
- ascertaining a corresponding position of an actuator along a path which corresponds to a specified braking torque for keeping the motor vehicle stationary and
- moving the actuator to the corresponding position.
A non-volatile, computer-readable storage medium containing program code that, when executed, results in a processor executing steps comprising:
- recording at least one of a braking torque and travel characteristic curve of the brake while the motor vehicle is in motion,
- ascertaining a corresponding position of an actuator along a path which corresponds to a specified braking torque for keeping the motor vehicle stationary and
- moving the actuator to the corresponding position.
