Abstract: A method and a device for the open- and/or closed-loop control of a generator or a dynamo in a vehicle. The generator supplies, at least part of the time, an electric motor located in a braking system, e.g., a pump motor, with electrical power. A main feature is that the generator is activated as a function of the pressure in the brake master cylinder, it being activated as soon as the pressure in the brake master cylinder exceeds an initial threshold value.

Abstract: A device and a method for evaluating a sensor signal indicating the position of an accelerator pedal of a motor vehicle. For this purpose, the device compares the sensor signal to a first comparison level, and an idle state is ascertained if the first comparison level is undershot. When a start of the motor vehicle from rest is detected, a departure from the idle state is inferred if a second comparison level, which is lower than the first comparison level, is exceeded.
