  • Method and system for motor vehicle longitudinal control
    Patent number: 10384680
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for longitudinal control of a motor vehicle, the motor vehicle having an engine and a braking system. The method including receiving a torque demand from a controller for controlling the speed of the vehicle, and providing a torque on the basis of this torque demand, whereby, depending on the value of the torque demand, a brake torque counteracts the torque demand to control longitudinal vehicle movement.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: March 15, 2017
    Date of Patent: August 20, 2019
    Assignee: Ford Global Technologies, LLC.
    Inventors: Ashrit Das, Marie Preusser, Thomas Svensson
  • Brake system and method for operating same
    Patent number: 10093292
    Abstract: A brake system for a motor vehicle including front wheel brakes, rear wheel brakes, and a hydraulic system supplying hydraulic fluid to the wheel brakes. An electronic brake control connected to the hydraulic system actuates the hydraulic system to build up a brake pressure and supply the wheel brakes with the hydraulic fluid. The system includes a parking brake system that activates the rear wheel brakes. The electronic brake control actuates the hydraulic system to build up a brake pressure and at the beginning of an emergency braking procedure closes valves of the hydraulic system associated with the rear wheel brakes, opens valves of the hydraulic system associated with the front wheel brakes, and activates the parking brake system while keeping the valves of the hydraulic system associated with the rear wheel brakes closed for a period of adjustable length.
