  • Method for ascertaining the offset value of a sensor signal
    Patent number: 9981640
    Abstract: A method is described for ascertaining the offset value of a sensor signal in a vehicle after the end of a parking period, in which the vehicle was parked, including the steps ascertaining the offset value of the sensor signal prior to the start of the parking period, storing the ascertained offset value in a data memory, ascertaining the changed offset value of the sensor signal after the end of the parking period from the offset value ascertained prior to the start of the parking period and the sensor signal present after the end of the parking period.

  • Method for automatically keeping a motor vehicle at a standstill
    Patent number: 9045119
    Abstract: A method is described for automatically keeping a motor vehicle at a standstill. The motor vehicle includes a braking system having a valve for limiting the brake pressure to a predefinable pressure threshold value. Gradient information and a pressure threshold value dependent on the gradient information are ascertained. The pressure threshold value is set at the valve as soon as the motor vehicle is at a standstill and the service brake is applied.
