  • Patent number: 12415495
    Abstract: A method for detecting a brake pedal actuation of a brake pedal by a driver during an initialization of an actuator, of a brake system, in which, during operation, an initialization operation and/or a system initialisation, of the actuator, a dynamic, position analysis of a pedal position and/or of a pedal travel of the brake pedal and/or of an input piston, which is coupled and/or couplable to the brake pedal, takes place, and method for initialising an actuator, a computer program product, control unit or system comprising a plurality of control units and a corresponding device.

  • Publication number: 20220379733
    Abstract: The disclosure relates to a method for operating a hydraulic braking system for a motor vehicle with an electrified drive train. The braking system comprises a brake booster. First, a braking request is registered and it is determined that the braking request is to be met by pure recuperative braking. In addition, an input member of the brake booster is shifted in the direction of a pressure generation unit so that it assumes an actuation position corresponding to the braking request. From here, the input member is then shifted back from the actuation position in a direction away from the pressure generation unit for hydraulic pressure relief. A control unit designed to carry out such a method is also disclosed. A braking system comprising such a control unit is also presented.
