Abstract
A brake system of a motor vehicle can activate a brake when an activation condition exists. The braking effect is reduced when a deactivation condition exists. It is suggested that at least one property of the reduction of the braking effect, e.g., the duration or the gradient of the reduction, be at least temporarily a function of a longitudinal inclination of the motor vehicle.
Claims12
A method for operating a brake system of a motor vehicle, the method comprising:
- activating a brake to provide a braking effect when an activation condition exists;
- and
- reducing the braking effect when a deactivation condition exists;
- wherein at least one property of the reduction of the braking effect at least intermittently is a function of a longitudinal inclination of the motor vehicle in order to influence a rolling away of the motor vehicle, this property being determined such that the motor vehicle displays a predictable and reproducible roll-away behavior.
A computer readable medium for a regulating unit of a brake system of a motor vehicle having a computer program executable by a processor, comprising:
- a program code arrangement having computer program code for operating a brake system of a motor vehicle by performing the following:
- activating a brake to provide a braking effect when an activation condition exists;
- and
- reducing the braking effect when a deactivation condition exists;
- wherein at least one property of the reduction of the braking effect at least intermittently is a function of a longitudinal inclination of the motor vehicle in order to influence a rolling away of the motor vehicle, this property being determined such that the motor vehicle displays a predictable and reproducible roll-away behavior.
An electrical storage medium for a control unit of a brake system of a motor vehicle having a computer program executable by a processor, comprising:
- a program code arrangement having computer program code for operating a brake system of a motor vehicle by performing the following:
- activating a brake to provide a braking effect when an activation condition exists;
- and
- reducing the braking effect when a deactivation condition exists;
- wherein at least one property of the reduction of the braking effect at least intermittently is a function of a longitudinal inclination of the motor vehicle in order to influence a rolling away of the motor vehicle, this property being determined such that the motor vehicle displays a predictable and reproducible roll-away behavior.
A control unit of a brake system for a motor vehicle, comprising:
- a computer readable medium having a computer program executable by a processor, including:
- a program code arrangement having computer program code for operating a brake system of a motor vehicle by performing the following:
- activating a brake to provide a braking effect when an activation condition exists;
- and
- reducing the braking effect when a deactivation condition exists;
- wherein at least one property of the reduction of the braking effect at least intermittently is a function of a longitudinal inclination of the motor vehicle in order to influence a rolling away of the motor vehicle, this property being determined such that the motor vehicle displays a predictable and reproducible roll-away behavior.
A motor vehicle having a brake system, comprising:
- a control unit of the brake system having a computer readable medium having a computer program executable by a processor, including:
- a program code arrangement having computer program code for operating the brake system of a motor vehicle by performing the following:
- activating a brake to provide a braking effect when an activation condition exists;
- and
- reducing the braking effect when a deactivation condition exists;
- wherein at least one property of the reduction of the braking effect at least intermittently is a function of a longitudinal inclination of the motor vehicle in order to influence a rolling away of the motor vehicle, this property being determined such that the motor vehicle displays a predictable and reproducible roll-away behavior.
