Abstract: A method for automated parking of a vehicle by means of a parking assistance system, comprises the parking assistance system requesting activation of a holding device in order to hold the vehicle stationary. For safety reasons, a vehicle monitoring system monitors a movement of the vehicle and, based on the movement established, decides whether the vehicle has been successfully held by means of the holding device, the vehicle being secured independently of the holding device and/or a warning signal being output if holding is not successful.

Abstract: A braking system for a motor vehicle has a plurality of hydraulic brake units for braking each braking one wheel of the motor vehicle and a first electric parking brake actuator for braking a first wheel and a second electric parking brake actuator for braking a second wheel. A first control device comprises a first hydraulic controller which is designed and set up to drive the plurality of hydraulic brake units. In order to ensure parking brake redundancy, the first control device has a driver for driving the first parking brake actuator. A second control device is also provided, which comprises a driver for driving the first parking brake actuator and a driver for driving the second parking brake actuator.

Abstract: A braking system for a motor vehicle has a first and a second parking brake A first and a second control device each have a driver for driving at least the first and/or the second parking brake actuator. The first control device has a first arbitration unit to data whether a parking brake action should be carried out. The second control device has a second arbitration unit to receive parking brake request data and to ascertain from the received data whether a parking brake action should be carried out. The result of the second arbitration unit is fed to the first arbitration unit as parking brake request data and the result of the first arbitration unit is transmitted to the driver of the first and/or second control device for driving the first and second parking brake actuators.

Abstract: A brake system for a motor vehicle has electromechanical wheel brakes, a brake operating unit and a central brake control unit. The wheel brakes each have a local brake control unit. The central brake control unit is connected to the brake operating unit and the local brake control units via a first data connection. The brake operating unit is connected to the local brake control unit of at least one wheel brake via a second data connection. In a normal operating mode the central brake control unit determines at least one brake demand from first operating information, received via the first data connection and transmits control signals corresponding to the brake demand to the local brake control units. In a fallback operating mode the local brake control units actuate the respective wheel brakes basis on second operating information, received via the second data connection.

Abstract: A method for checking functionality of a motor vehicle braking system. The braking system has a main module, including: hydraulically actuatable wheel brakes, pairs being assigned to respective brake circuits; at least one electrically actuatable wheel valve per wheel brake sets wheel-specific brake pressures; a pressure provision device actively builds up pressure in the wheel brakes; a pressure-medium reservoir at atmospheric pressure, and an auxiliary module, which has for each of two wheel brakes: a pressure sensor for measuring pressure in a wheel brake line; an open when deenergized isolating valve in the wheel brake line; a pump. At least one variable is measured to assess functionality of the braking system. Using least one acceptance criterion, and checked whether the variable satisfies the acceptance criterion. Determining at least one variable representing the viscosity of the brake fluid, and the at least one acceptance criterion depends on a variable representing viscosity.

Abstract: A method for operating a braking system of a vehicle, wherein the braking system comprises a primary hydraulic braking system and a brake actuation unit hydraulically decoupled from the primary braking system. The brake actuation unit comprises at least two sensor arrangements which are configured to detect, independently of one another, actuation information of the brake actuation unit describing a brake request.

Abstract: A braking system having wheel brakes, a pressure supply device connected to the wheel brakes, a master brake cylinder actuated by a brake pedal and connected to the wheel brakes, and a brake fluid reservoir having a first and a second reservoir chamber separated by a partition wall, wherein the first reservoir chamber is connected to the pressure supply device, via which the pressure supply device is supplied with pressure medium, and the second reservoir chamber is connected to the master brake cylinder, via which the master brake cylinder is supplied with pressure medium The braking system is operated in a first operating mode when the first filling level is reached and a second operating mode when the second filling level is reached, and a hydraulic fallback level if a lowest filling level is reached.

Abstract: A brake system for a motor vehicle, comprises a hydraulic brake arrangement and an electric brake arrangement which are designed to be at least partially redundant with respect to one another. In particular, in the event of failure of hydraulic components, a braking demand can be electrically assisted.
