A method for braking a vehicle includes at least reducing a hydraulic brake pressure in at least one wheel brake device disposed on a vehicle axle in response to an at least partial failure of a brake boosting of a hydraulic brake with at least one first brake circuit and at least one second brake circuit. The method further includes operating an electric brake motor of an electromechanical braking device to produce a braking force on the at least one wheel brake device.

The present invention provides a system and a method of detecting a preceding vehicle. The system for detecting a preceding vehicle includes: an image sensor configured to generate image information containing information on reception intensity of light reflected from a preceding vehicle; a pixel detection unit configured to detect pixel areas corresponding to light reflected from rear reflectors of the preceding vehicle from the generated image information; and an Autonomous Emergency Braking (AEB) operation point controller configured to group adjacent pixel areas among the detected pixel areas, and classify the kind of vehicle of the preceding vehicle by using at least one element of information between information on the number of grouped pixel areas and information on an interval.

An ESC 33 increases distribution of a braking force to rear wheels according to a reduction in a speed of a vehicle due to braking, and distributes the braking force so as to allow the vehicle to be kept stopped due to braking forces applied to the rear wheels when the vehicle stopped. Then, a second ECU holds the braking force by driving a parking mechanism with the vehicle kept stopped due to the braking forces applied to the rear wheels.

A method for controlling a teleoperated vehicle is provided, in particular for a shared mobility service. The method includes: driving the vehicle via a teleoperator station using a network; and determining a disturbance within said network. The method also includes starting a first braking maneuver for slowing down said vehicle, if a disturbance is determined within said network; and starting a second braking maneuver for stopping said vehicle, if a predetermined condition is met. A corresponding computer program and a teleoperated vehicle using this method are also provided.

A method for operating a vehicle in at least one parking process situation involves allocating at least one predetermined vehicle-specific or parking process situation-specific function to the at least one predetermined parking process situation of the vehicle. Whether the vehicle is in the at least one predetermined parking process situation is determined and the predetermined vehicle-specific or parking process situation-specific function allocated to the at least one predetermined parking process situation is presented to a vehicle user for activation or automatically activated when the vehicle is in the at least one predetermined parking process situation.

A brake system comprises an electronic stability control (ESC) module defining a first interconnect passage, and a pressure supply unit (PSU) module defining a second interconnect passage in fluid communication with the first interconnect passage. The ESC module includes a first pump configured to transfer brake fluid from the PSU module and to a plurality of wheel brakes, and a prime valve configured to selectively control fluid communication between the first interconnect passage and an inlet of the first pump. The PSU module includes a second pump configured to transfer the brake fluid from a fluid reservoir to the first interconnect passage, and a bypass fluid passage from the fluid reservoir to the ESC module with an inline check valve allowing fluid flow through the bypass fluid passage from the fluid reservoir and to the ESC module while blocking fluid flow in an opposite direction.
