Abstract
A braking system for braking at least one wheel of a vehicle includes at least one brake actuator assigned to the wheel, a hydraulic modulator, at least one brake line path connecting the hydraulic modulator to the brake actuator, the brake line path having at least one electrically conductive brake line, a control unit for controlling and/or regulating the hydraulic system, a sensor assigned to the wheel and a signal line path technically connecting the control unit to the sensor for signal transmission. The brake line forms or participates in forming the signal line path.
Claims17
A braking system for braking at least one wheel of a vehicle, comprising:
- at least one brake actuator assigned to the wheel;
- a hydraulic modulator;
- at least one brake line path connecting the hydraulic modulator to the brake actuator, wherein the brake line path includes at least one electrically conductive brake line;
- a control unit for controlling the hydraulic system;
- a sensor assigned to the wheel;
- and
- a signal line path communicatively connecting the control unit to the sensor for signal transmission;
- wherein the brake line forms at least at least a portion of the signal line path;
- wherein at least one of the following is satisfied:
- (i) an end area of the brake line path facing the hydraulic modulator is communicatively connected to the control unit for signal transmission with the aid of a first signal line;
- and
- (ii) an end area of the brake line path facing the brake actuator is communicatively connected to the sensor for signal transmission with the aid of a second signal line;
- wherein the brake line has a flange on at least one end for establishing a connection;
- and
- wherein at least one of the first and second signal lines contacts the brake line on the flange.
