  • Method and device for operating a brake system of a motor vehicle, brake system, and motor vehicle
    Patent number: 11919495
    Abstract: A method for operating a brake system of a motor vehicle. The brake system includes a master brake cylinder operable by a user and a pressure generator driven by an electric motor, for generating a hydraulic system pressure, and includes at least one hydraulically operable friction brake. On the inlet side, the at least one friction brake is assigned a proportioning valve acted upon by the system pressure, to adjust a hydraulic actuating pressure for the friction brake. The pressure generator is given a setpoint value for carrying out a testing operation. The setpoint value is selected so as to be smoothed by a logistical growth function.

  • Method for operating a brake system of a motor vehicle, and control unit and brake system
    Patent number: 11059466
    Abstract: A method for operating a brake system of a motor vehicle includes actuating at least one of a first actuation device and a second actuation device of the brake system, and, in the event of a fault in a hydraulic brake device of the brake system, producing an electromechanical braking force via an electromechanical brake device of the brake system for decelerating the motor vehicle, irrespective of which of the first actuation device and the second actuation device is actuated.
