Abstract: A method for the computer-aided estimation or determination of a value for the total mass of a vehicle system, comprising a towing vehicle and possibly at least one trailer coupled to the towing vehicle, wherein physical data relating to the vehicle system, which change depending on a load of the vehicle system and a number of trailers coupled to the towing vehicle are captured, and a first value for the total mass of the vehicle system is estimated or determined as part of a first estimation or determination at a first point in time, in particular irrespective of the physical data, wherein the first value is retained as a valid value for the total mass of the vehicle system or is used as an initial value for a further determination or estimation of the total mass of the vehicle system if it has been identified.

Abstract: An apparatus for generating non-electric control signals for a brake system, which has a first supply source, including: at least one interface configured to be connected to a pressure accumulator; and at least one interface to output the control signals; in which the apparatus is configured to be supplied via a second supply source. Also described are a related module and an electronic brake system.

Abstract: A system for identifying a change in a load of a commercial vehicle, the commercial vehicle including an electronic stability program with at least one inertial sensor and a control unit for estimating a mass of the commercial vehicle and/or the load, including: a device for querying sensor data of the at least one inertial sensor; and an evaluation unit which is configured to identify the load change if the queried sensor data exceed a variation range, and inform the control unit of the identified load change to allow the load change to be taken into account in the estimation of the mass. Also described are a related commercial vehicle, method, and computer readable medium.
