  • Publication number: 20080129110
    Abstract: Disclosed is a method for controlling a regenerative brake system with a number of friction brakes (F) and an electro-regenerative brake (R), whose total deceleration is composed of deceleration components of the brakes, and the actual deceleration components are desired to correspond to the nominal deceleration components as exactly as possible. A control unit is used to change the ratio of the nominal deceleration components of a number of brakes (R, F) relative to each other by determining a correction value (k1, k2) for a number of the brakes based on the quantities of efficiency w of a number of brakes representing the ratio between the actual deceleration (aactual) and the nominal deceleration (anominal), which correction value is applied to the nominal deceleration (anominal) of these brakes.

  • Publication number: 20080093179
    Abstract: Disclosed is a method for controlling a brake system (1) of a motor vehicle, which includes an electric generator (4) and a number of hydraulic, electronically controllable friction brakes (2) being allocated to axles of the motor vehicle, and the brake torque of which is composed of the brake torque of the generator (4) and the brake torque of the friction brakes (2), is intended to safeguard great brake comfort of the brake system (1). To this end, a number of friction brakes (2) are connected only when the total nominal brake torque exceeds the total actual brake torque by a selected maximum brake torque difference.

  • Publication number: 20040249511
    Abstract: A partial surface of a total surface, divided into several partial surfaces, is allocated to one of several mobile units by determining the partial surface of the total surface and allocating one of the several mobile units with a reservation. The mobile unit transmits allocation information indicating the allocation of the partial surface. The reservation is lifted and the allocation of the partial surface is validated when the one of the several mobile units receives no allocation rejection information from at least one of the other mobile units, indicating a rejection of the allocation of the partial surface. If rejection information is received, the reservation is lifted and the allocation of the partial surface is invalidated.

  • Publication number: 20040068348
    Abstract: A method for automatic, decentralized coordination of the movement paths of mobile robots in order to prevent collisions and to detect and resolve mutual blockings. According to the method, a robot receives position information from other robots and establishes a coordinating connection with another robot if the position falls below a minimum allowable distance. One of the robots is then chosen as coordinator and the other robot is chosen as partner. The coordinator initiates an algorithm for the prevention of collisions, wherein a time sequence diagram is determined for the motion path segments of the coordinator and the partner. A robot for detecting robots that are mutually blocking one another in a circuit initiates an algorithm for detecting blocking if the robot has not been given authorization to execute its next motion path segment. An algorithm for resolving the blocking is initiated if robots mutually blocking each other in a circuit are detected by the detecting robot.
