Abstract
A method for operating an electromechanical vehicle brake system is provided. The method comprises determining that an activation condition has been met, building an initial portion of the pre-charge pressure in the brake system, applying the initial portion of the pre-charge pressure to at least one wheel brake, building a secondary portion of the pre-charge pressure in the brake system, and adjusting the secondary portion of the pre-charge pressure to an expected braking pressure. Adjusting the secondary portion of the pre-charge pressure may include reducing the secondary portion of the pre-charge pressure.
Claims18
A method for operating an electromechanical vehicle brake system, comprising:
- determining that an activation condition has been met;
- building an initial portion of a pre-pressure in the brake system;
- applying the initial portion of the pre-pressure to at least one wheel brake;
- building a secondary portion of the pre-pressure in the brake system;
- and
- adjusting the secondary portion of the pre-pressure to an expected braking pressure.
An electromechanical vehicle brake system, comprising:
- a controller configured to:
- request buildup of an initial portion of a pre-pressure in the brake system when a trigger has been met;
- direct the initial portion of the pre-pressure to at least one wheel brake;
- request buildup of a secondary portion of the pre-pressure in the brake system;
- and
- adjust the secondary portion of the pre-pressure based on an expected braking pressure.
