Abstract
A braking system for a motor vehicle with two control devices, namely a primary control device and a secondary control device. The braking system is configured in such a way that, in a wake-up mode of the braking system, when a driver inputs a braking command, either the primary control device or the secondary control device controls the generation of a braking force in dependence on the input braking command, depending on the situation, namely depending on whether a critical or a non-critical braking situation exists.
Claims20
A braking system for a motor vehicle configured for a sleep mode, a wake-up mode and an awake mode, comprising:
- an input device with an operating element via which braking commands can be input by a driver,
- an electrically controllable braking device for generating braking forces,
- a control device for controlling the braking device, wherein the control device has a primary control device and a secondary control device, and
- a sensor device for generating sensor signals by which a braking situation can be determined,
- wherein in the wake-up mode
- the sensor signals of the sensor device are evaluated by the control device, wherein it is determined whether a critical or a non-critical braking situation exists, and
- when a braking command is input, the primary control device controls the braking device to generate a braking force depending on the input braking command, if a non-critical braking situation exists, and the secondary control device controls the braking device to generate a braking force depending on the input braking command if a critical braking situation exists.
