A system may be configured for controlling an auto vehicle hold (AVH) for a vehicle, which is configured for implementing an AVH function by improving a brake hydraulic circuit, wherein an economic system for controlling an AVH for a vehicle, in which a pair of AVH valves for implementing an AVH function is additionally formed in a hydraulic brake circuit of an active hydraulic brake (AHB), so that the implementation of the AVH function may be continuously maintained even in a state where an economical parking brake (EPB) is not mounted.

A slip-controllable vehicle brake system includes a drivable pressure generator configured to supply at least one wheel brake of a brake circuit with pressure medium. The pressure generator has a pump inlet valve and a pump outlet valve to control the throughput of the pressure medium. Novel system functions, such as pedestrian protection, require that the pressure generator has a drive with increased power to provide high pressure medium volumes to the wheel brakes at a faster rate. In the case of ABS braking, a high braking pressure generated by the drive works against the starting of the pressure generator and increases the starting current. To ease the starting of the drive and to limit the required starting current, a mechanism is provided downstream of the pump outlet valve which prevents an exerting of the pressure generator on the pressure side with the pressure of the main brake cylinder.

The improved hydraulic control valve includes a spool with a primary side piston having a rigid linkage with a secondary side piston. The primary side providing the ability to tap into an existing hydraulic system without altering the existing hydraulic system pressures or fluid volume. The secondary side piston and associated ports form a regulating assembly for control of the pressures of a hydraulic system and for providing feedback to the primary. The primary and secondary piston sizes may be stepped to create an appropriate amplification ratio for the required secondary brake system pressures in relation to the primary. Multiple secondary pilot signals and multiple primary pilot signals are also envisioned.

An electrohydraulic motor vehicle brake system is provided, having a hydraulic simulator circuit for generating a pedal feedback force, having a cylinder-piston unit and having an electromechanical actuator which acts on the cylinder-piston unit and which serves for generating a hydraulic pressure in at least one brake circuit, having a first fluid path with, arranged therein, a first valve device for the selective fluidic coupling of the cylinder-piston unit to the simulator circuit, and having a second fluid path with, arranged therein, a second valve device for the selective fluidic coupling of the simulator circuit to an unpressurized hydraulic fluid reservoir. Also specified are a ventilation method for a brake system of said type, a testing method for a further electrohydraulic motor vehicle brake system with only a first valve device, and a respective computer program product, with program code means, for carrying out one of the two methods when the computer program is executed on a processing unit.

A method for controlling a vehicle deceleration in a vehicle comprising an ABS braking system includes detecting a setpoint vehicle deceleration predetermined by a driver; establishing a maximum deceleration and a minimum deceleration, in each case as a function of the detected setpoint vehicle deceleration; detecting an actual vehicle deceleration; and controlling a brake pressure at wheel brakes of a vehicle axle to be controlled as a function of the detected actual vehicle deceleration by controlling ABS brake valves. Controlling the brake pressure at the wheel brakes of the vehicle axle as a function of the detected actual vehicle deceleration comprises: increasing the brake pressure at the wheel brakes when the actual vehicle deceleration is less than the minimum deceleration, and limiting the brake pressure at the wheel brakes when the actual vehicle deceleration is greater than the maximum deceleration.

A method for braking a vehicle which is operable by a motor or by muscular power, in particular an electric bicycle. During a braking operation, a brake force influencing device is controlled by an electric brake pressure control device, and the brake pressure for the front wheel brake and/or for the rear wheel brake, and thus the brake force thereof, is increased and/or decreased.
