  • Method and device for the control of a brake system
    Patent number: 8833867
    Abstract: In a method and a device for the control of a vehicle brake system, the setpoint values for each wheel are corrected based on the difference between brake pressures in at least one wheel brake of two different brake circuits.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: August 29, 2002
    Date of Patent: September 16, 2014
    Assignee: Robert Bosch GmbH
    Inventors: Andreas Erban, Thomas Rader, Alexander Haeussler, Manfred Gerdes, Ralf Gutmann, Thomas Glasstetter
  • Method of controlling a drive unit of a motor vehicle
    Patent number: 7130737
    Abstract: A method for controlling a drive unit of a vehicle which allows a comfortable compensation of the torque requirement of ancillary components. In this method, torque losses are compensated in a steady-state manner in an overrun and an acceleration operation. The steady-state compensation of the torque losses in overrun operation is weighted by a first weighting factor. The first weighting factor is raised in a linear manner when the drag torque decreases in amount, until acceleration operation is reached.

  • Method and device for determination of a wheel brake parameter
    Patent number: 7062369
    Abstract: A method and a device for determining a characteristic value of a wheel brake are described. The characteristic value here is the brake characteristic value, which representing the relationship between the braking torque or braking force and the brake pressure of a wheel brake operated hydraulically. This brake characteristic value is determined individually for each wheel by calculations based on wheel-specific variables.

  • Method and apparatus for controlling a drive unit with an internal combustion engine
    Patent number: 6893377
    Abstract: The method and apparatus (130) control a drive unit (30) with an internal combustion engine (35), so that changes of an output variable of the drive unit (3) during load change are limited. The method includes formulating a desired behavior of the output variable for the load change; changing the desired behavior of the output variable by changing an air supply of the internal combustion engine and forming at least a first preliminary value for adjusting the output variable by filtering the desired behavior according to an inertia of an air system for the air supply of the internal combustion engine.
