Abstract: The aim of the invention is to allow a reliable quantification and classification of brake abrasion of a brake system of a vehicle and simultaneously reduce the complexity in a practical application. This is achieved by a measuring rim with a rim interior, in which a collecting housing is arranged that extends in the circumferential direction of the measuring rim over an extension angle (?). A collecting housing interior is formed in the collecting housing, and the collecting housing is at least partly open towards the collecting housing interior on a radially inner circumferential surface extending in the circumferential direction of the measuring rim. A discharge area is provided on the rim flange on the measuring rim, and a collecting channel which connects the collecting housing interior of the collecting housing to the discharge area is provided on the measuring rim.

Abstract: A method for operating an antilock brake system of a vehicle, in which a braking torque at at least one wheel of the vehicle is cyclically controlled in at least build-up phases and reduction phases, in order to prevent locking of the wheel. In a build-up phase, the braking torque is increased until a maximum adhesion at the wheel is exceeded, and in a subsequent reduction phase, the braking torque is reduced by a differential braking torque, which is ascertained, using a wheel acceleration value of the wheel measured after the build-up phase and a target acceleration value for the wheel.

Abstract: A method for operating a brake system of a motor vehicle. The motor vehicle has a vehicle body and multiple wheels mounted relative to the vehicle body by a wheel suspension on the vehicle body. The vehicle body is capable of executing a pitching movement by the wheel suspension. The brake system has a wheel-individual wheel brake for at least some of the wheels. A pitch angle of the vehicle body is monitored, and the wheel brakes are actuated as a function of the acquired pitch angle. The pitch angle is calculated as a function of normal forces acting on the wheels.

Abstract: A method for controlling and/or regulating an electronically triggerable vehicle brake system, operating on the return principle, and to such a brake system in which by an adapted triggering of the drive motor for the pressure generator, the pumping quantity of the pressure generator is varied such that the difference between these flows of pressure medium to and from the master cylinder assumes a minimal value, preferably a value of zero. To that end, the driving rpm of the pressure generator is preferably varied. The trigger signal for the drive motor can be ascertained by an electronic control unit from measurement outcomes from sensors within the vehicle brake system, or it can be estimated with the aid of a hydraulic volume model stored in memory in the control unit. The trigger signal can be controlled or regulated.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method and to an apparatus for optimizing transmission security and failure security in high-bit-rate data networks by via signal line redundancy between the network nodes, such that parallel signal lines can optionally be occupied, or can be switched, as working lines or protection lines, and selectors, bridge circuits, and interface modules are provided at the network node side. According to the invention, each of the parallel signal lines is connected at the network node side with a respective interface module, and all interface modules are in principle in the active state. Given failure of one of the interface modules, this failure is immediately countered by a signal line changeover, and line errors are immediately countered by the provided interface module redundancy. Furthermore, error messages can be transmitted, via a corresponding link, between the interface modules of the incoming and outgoing parallel signal lines in each of the network nodes.
