Abstract
A method for determining a braking variable for a vehicle, in particular a utility vehicle, wherein the vehicle includes a pneumatic suspension system having a bellows and the vehicle includes a pressure sensor for sensing a bellows pressure of the bellows. The method includes: sensing the bellows pressure; ascertaining a bellows pressure change on the basis of the bellows pressure; and determining the braking variable on the basis of the bellows pressure change.
Claims18
A method for determining a braking variable for a vehicle, wherein the vehicle has a pneumatic suspension system having a bellows and has a pressure sensor for capturing a bellows pressure of the bellows, the method comprising:
- capturing the bellows pressure;
- ascertaining a bellows pressure change on a basis of the bellows pressure;
- and,
- determining the braking variable on a basis of the bellows pressure change.
A control device for a vehicle including a pneumatic suspension system having a bellows and the vehicle including a pressure sensor for capturing a bellows pressure of the bellows, the control device comprising:
- a processor;
- a non-transitory computer readable storage medium having program code stored thereon;
- said program code being configured, when executed by said processor to:
- capture the bellows pressure;
- ascertain a bellows pressure change on a basis of the bellows pressure;
- and,
- determine a braking variable on a basis of the bellows pressure change.
A vehicle comprising:
- a pneumatic suspension system including a bellows and a pressure sensor for capturing a bellows pressure of said bellows;
- a control device connected to said pressure sensor;
- said control device including a processor and a non-transitory computer readable storage medium having program code stored thereon;
- said program code being configured, when executed by said processor to:
- capture the bellows pressure;
- ascertain a bellows pressure change on a basis of the bellows pressure;
- and,
- determine a braking variable on a basis of the bellows pressure change.
