A braking system for vehicles with collapsible actuation pedal may have an operating pedal operatively connected to a hydraulic pump having a delivery circuit fluidically connected to an accumulator device. The delivery circuit may have a hydraulic branch equipped with at least one normally closed control valve. The control valve may be connected to a control actuator which commands its opening when an impact or accident is detected by an appropriate detector or the control valve may be calibrated to open automatically when a limit pressure and/or flow rate value is reached in the hydraulic branch following the lowering of the actuation pedal.

A valve arrangement is inserted between a master brake cylinder and a reservoir in a housing of an electrohydraulic motor vehicle brake system which can be activated both by a vehicle driver and independently of the vehicle driver. The valve arrangement can be acted on by a volume flow which can be conveyed by a linear actuator in the direction of a pedal travel simulator, the working chamber of the pedal travel simulator being connected to the master brake cylinder, wherein, for the purpose of simplified construction and actuation, the valve arrangement has a hydraulically actuable non-return valve and a fixed diaphragm arranged parallel to the non-return valve. The non-return valve is arranged together with the fixed diaphragm in a valve carrier which is fastened to a closure plug which closes the housing of the motor vehicle brake system.

A braking system for a vehicle, having a brake pedal, a position sensor unit for determining position data regarding an actuation distance and/or a pivot angle of the brake pedal of the vehicle, a force sensor unit for determining force data regarding an operating force with which the brake pedal is operated, a control unit, and an additional control unit. The position sensor unit has a signal connection to the control unit and to the additional control unit for transmitting the position data to the control unit as well as to the additional control unit. The force sensor unit has a signal connection to the control unit and to the additional control unit for transmitting the force data to the control unit as well as to the additional control unit.

A one-pedal control method and system for an autonomous vehicle, are capable of accelerating or decelerating a vehicle by use of a foldable brake pedal system when a foldable accelerator pedal system is broken down when a driver manually drives the vehicle or the mode is switched from an autonomous driving mode to a manual driving mode, and capable of implementing a fail-safe function by use of an integrated safety function of software.
