In a method for braking a vehicle with the aid of at least one electric machine, operated as a generator, of the vehicle, a torque generated by the electric machine is controlled by a damping control function in order to reduce a periodic deflection of a drive train, coupled to a rotor shaft of the electric machine, relative to the rotor shaft. Furthermore, a braking request signal representing a target braking torque is detected, a deactivation condition for deactivating the damping control function is identified on the basis of the braking request signal, the damping control function is deactivated when a deactivation condition is identified, a braking torque is generated based on the braking request signal by operating the electric machine as a generator, a reactivation condition for reactivating the damping control function is identified during the process of generating the braking torque, and the damping control function is reactivated when the reactivation condition is identified.

A method is for controlling a brake system having at least two modulators. A pressure can be modulated via the respective modulator and provided at a connection. The method includes: determining if there is a leak; localizing a detected leak by controlling a modulator with a test signal to change the pressure, and determining a deviation between a target value specified as a function of the signal and an actual value assigned to the connection; if a threshold is exceeded, the line has a leak; controlling a modulator so a flow connection is interrupted between the leaky line and the pressure supply from which the pressure for the connection is modulated; and at a connection to which no line with a located leak is connected, an adjusted pressure is provided, dependent on the braking demand and a deceleration loss from the interruption of the flow connection to the leaky line.

A method is disclosed for controlling a change in the direction of travel of a working vehicle between forward travel and rearward travel or vice versa. The working vehicle has an electronically controllable hydrostatic travel drive, a power-operated brake system with at least one electronically controllable brake circuit, and an electronic brake-control unit for controlling the travel drive and the brake circuit. While the vehicle is traveling in a first direction, a change in the direction of travel is triggered by a switchover of the hydrostatic travel drive by means of an assigned manual operating element. To reduce the mechanical loading, the deceleration of the working vehicle can be assisted by automatically actuating the brakes of the electronically controllable brake circuit, where these brakes are actuated by being triggered by the switchover of the operating element and are released by the time the vehicle comes to a standstill.

The method further includes instructing the vehicle to adjust driving operations in response to determining that there is the difference between the first information and the second information.

A method of operating a vehicle includes receiving brake sensor data indicative of measured actuator outputs of a decentralized brake system's brake actuators. For each brake actuator, a vehicle controller calculates: a normalized corner output using the measured actuator output and a commanded target output for that brake actuator, and a weighted average using the normalized corner output of that brake actuator and a vehicle-calibrated weight value determined from the vehicle's current speed and steering angle. The controller calculates an actuator error percentage as an absolute value of a mathematical difference between the weighted averages of the brake actuators, and detects an actuator fault when the actuator error percentage exceeds a vehicle-calibrated fault deviation threshold determined from the vehicle's current speed and steering angle. Responsive to the error percentage exceeding the fault deviation threshold, the controller commands the brake system to execute a brake action to remediate the actuator fault.
