  • METHOD FOR DETERMINING THE BRAKING FORCE ON VEHICLES
    Publication number: 20240167525
    Abstract: A method is for determining the braking force of vehicles with wheel brakes. In the method, a reaction force occurring on the vehicle during braking is determined, at least indirectly. An axle assembly includes: an axle; a wheel brake mounted on the axle; and, at least one sensor configured to measure variables for determining reaction forces during braking.

  • Anti-lock control method and anti-lock control system for a braking system of a vehicle
    Patent number: 11970169
    Abstract: An antilock control method for a braking system of a vehicle has at least the following steps: upon the presence of a brake request signal, outputting a brake control signal and building up a brake pressure by a braking medium at a wheel brake of a vehicle wheel, measuring a wheel speed of the vehicle wheel to be braked, and determining a wheel slip of the vehicle wheel, upon meeting a first traction criterion or a locking tendency of the vehicle wheel, activating a wheel drive unit and applying a wheel drive torque on the vehicle wheel to increase the wheel circumferential velocity and to reduce the wheel slip until a second traction criterion is met. The brake force introduced in the wheel brake is controlled as a function of the wheel slip by releasing the brake pressure upon satisfying a first traction criterion.
