A vehicle includes a powerplant, such as an engine, configured to power front and rear wheels, and a controller. The controller is programmed to, brake a first of the front wheels and a first of the rear wheels while powering a second of the front wheels and a second of the rear wheels to warm those tires, and subsequently brake the second front wheel and the second rear wheel while powering the first front wheel and the first rear wheel to warm those tires.

Systems and methods for brake redundancy for an autonomous vehicle are provided. An autonomous vehicle braking system can include a primary brake control module comprising one or more processors. The primary brake control module can be configured to brake an autonomous vehicle in response to receiving a braking command from a vehicle autonomy system of the autonomous vehicle. The autonomous vehicle braking system can further include a secondary brake control module comprising one or more processors. The secondary brake control module can be configured to determine a failure of the primary brake control module to brake the autonomous vehicle in response to receiving the braking command. In response to determining the failure of the primary brake control module to brake the autonomous vehicle, the secondary brake control module can be configured to implement a braking action for the autonomous vehicle.

A method for controlling an electronically slip-controllable power braking system of a motor vehicle. Power braking systems are equipped with a plunger unit, which includes a plunger piston accommodated in a plunger cylinder and delimiting a working chamber, for generating brake pressure in brake circuits. This plunger piston is actuatable by an electronically activatable drive in a pressure buildup direction or in the opposing spatial direction thereto in a pressure reducing direction. A time-limited drive of the plunger piston takes place in the pressure reducing direction as soon as an actual brake pressure generated by the plunger unit has reached a predefinable setpoint brake pressure and a decoupling of a wheel brake and the plunger unit from an associated brake circuit has taken place.

A hydraulic pressure control unit disposed at a suitable place of a bicycle is provided. A braking system including such a hydraulic pressure control unit is also provided. A bicycle including such a braking system is also provided.

A hydraulic pressure control unit (110) of a braking system (100) mounted on a bicycle (200) and capable of executing an antilock braking control includes: an inlet valve (131) and an outlet valve (132) which are opened and closed when the antilock braking control is executed; and a base body (120) to which the inlet valve (131) and the outlet valve (132) are attached, wherein a mount part of the hydraulic pressure control unit (110) for mounting the hydraulic pressure control unit (110) to the bicycle (200) is joined to a front fork (15) of the bicycle (200).

A device for a hydraulic braking system of a vehicle. The device includes a processing unit, which is programmed to determine at least one brake characteristic value of the hydraulic braking system, the processing unit being programmed to determine the at least one brake characteristic value as a vehicle axle-specific brake characteristic value, which in each case corresponds to a ratio between a brake pressure in all wheel brake cylinders assigned to a shared vehicle axle of the vehicle and a vehicle axle braking torque exerted on the shared vehicle axle with the aid of the wheel brake cylinders. A method for determining at least one brake characteristic value of a hydraulic braking system of a vehicle, and a method for decelerating a vehicle with a hydraulic braking system and an electric motor usable as a generator, are also described.

A vehicle deceleration controller includes: a brake pedal; an accelerator pedal which is operated when an acceleration/deceleration request of a vehicle is inputted; a target acceleration/deceleration setting part configured to set a target deceleration based on a deceleration operation of the accelerator pedal; and an acceleration/deceleration control part configured to, when the accelerator pedal is operated to decelerate the vehicle, provide deceleration control over the vehicle such that an actual deceleration follows the target deceleration set by the target acceleration/deceleration setting part. In a case where the brake pedal and the accelerator pedal are operated simultaneously, the acceleration/deceleration control part is configured to, when a required deceleration level based on a deceleration operation of the brake pedal is present nearer an acceleration side, compared to a previously-set reference deceleration, then provide deceleration control over the vehicle, such that the actual deceleration follows the reference deceleration.

A device for control of a safety-relevant process. For automated driving, safety precautions are necessary. The brake system is a redundant design including primary and secondary brake systems. Both brake systems safely decelerate the transportation vehicle and take over the function of the other brake system. The control of the safety-relevant process is based on the analysis of the signals of at least one sensor. A hardware architecture and a test mode for the hardware architecture are provided. A communications bus enables exchange of data between the primary and secondary control units. The at least one sensor of the hardware architecture connects to the primary control unit and to the secondary control unit, wherein a respective sensor arrangement isolation circuit is associated with the primary control unit and the secondary control unit, which isolates the associated primary or secondary control unit from the at least one sensor.

A working vehicle includes a traveling clutch to be switched between an engaging state and a disengaging state, a brake to brake the traveling device according to an operation of a brake operator, and a controller to perform a braking control to perform the braking, and an auto-switching controller to switch the traveling clutch from the engaging state to the disengaging state. The controller performs a first processing to switch the traveling clutch from the engaging state to the disengaging state when the brake operator is operated in a case where the auto-switching control is valid and a vehicle speed is less than a threshold, and a second processing to prevent the traveling clutch from being switched from the engaging state to the disengaging state even when the brake operator is operated in a case where the vehicle speed is equal to or higher than the threshold.

A pole wheel is provided. The pole wheel can be mounted on a brake disk of a vehicle wheel brake. The pole wheel has apertures which are uniformly distributed over its circumference and which are spaced apart from one another by radial webs. The pole wheel has an axially protruding bulge radially above its apertures and radial webs.
