Pressure-sensor-based control of the rear axle in a braking system

Abstract

A braking system for a vehicle, in particular a commercial vehicle. The braking system includes a first pressure source, a foot brake valve for receiving a deceleration request from the driver, which is connected to the first pressure source. The braking system includes a first braking module, at least one brake actuator, which is connected to the braking module, wherein the first braking module is designed to control a braking force of the at least one brake actuator in every braking procedure. The braking system includes at least a first pressure sensor, which is designed to measure the set pressure of the footbrake valve. A deceleration request from the driver can therefore be detected by pressure sensing in every braking procedure, and the rear axle is controllable without a complete electronic braking system needing to be implemented.
