  • Patent number: 11975701
    Abstract: To check an electrohydraulic power vehicle brake system of a passenger car traveling autonomously on public roads for air in the brake fluid, the method provides for a consecutive generation of a brake pressure using a first power brake-pressure generator and a redundant, second power brake-pressure generator. The brake pressure is intermittently lowered to ambient pressure. In the method, a comparison of the brake fluid volumes required for generating the brake pressure is provided. If the brake fluid volume required for generating the brake pressure using the second power brake-pressure generator is greater, then the presence of air in a brake fluid of the vehicle brake system is inferred.

  • Patent number: 11975700
    Abstract: For ascertaining a future wheel brake pressure, pressure generator pressures of an external power brake pressure generator are continuously measured at measurement time intervals, the wheel brake pressure changes are ascertained therefrom, and the sum of the wheel brake pressure changes ascertained during a time period prior to the measurement is added to the last measured pressure generator pressure. The wheel brake pressure thus ascertained is considered to be the wheel brake pressure that will prevail after the time period following the measurement of the pressure generator pressure in a wheel brake.

  • Patent number: 11975698
    Abstract: A method for controlling a brake system. The brake system includes an actuating device, a master brake cylinder, a brake circuit, a wheel brake, and a brake pressure generator. The brake pressure generator and the master brake cylinder are capable of being contacted, parallel to one another, to the brake circuit. A pressure generator control valve controls a first pressure medium connection between the brake pressure generator and the brake circuit. A brake circuit control valve controls a second pressure medium connection between the brake circuit and the master brake cylinder. The brake system is operated in an operating state during which the pressure generator control valve assumes an open position without a brake pressure prevailing in the brake circuit and without a buildup of brake pressure being carried out. During this operating state, the brake circuit control valve is controlled to assume an open position.
