VEHICLE BRAKE SYSTEM

A vehicle includes wheels, brakes to control speeds of the wheels, and a hydraulic fluid source in fluid communication with the brakes. The vehicle includes a computer storing instructions to determine that speeds of the wheels are zero and actuate the hydraulic fluid source to provide hydraulic fluid to a first set of one or more of the brakes at a first pressure sufficient to maintain the vehicle body at a present position and to provide hydraulic fluid at a volumetric rate to one or more of the brakes not in the first set, and, while providing hydraulic fluid at the volumetric rate to a brake not in the first set, detect second pressures of the brake not in the first set. The instructions include instructions to determine a volume-pressure curve for the brake not in the first set based on the volumetric rate and the second pressures.

Valve for adjusting a fluid flow

A valve for adjusting a fluid flow includes a valve cartridge with at least one first fluid opening, at least one second fluid opening, a preliminary stage with a first valve seat and a first closing element, and a main stage with a second valve seat and a second closing element. The first valve seat is at a first axial through-opening of the second closing element, which is at least partly in a preliminary stage sleeve. The first valve seat is within the preliminary stage sleeve, and a flow path from the at least one first fluid opening to the preliminary stage leads through at least one inflow opening, which is radially introduced in the preliminary stage sleeve. An axial filter gap formed between an actuation element and the preliminary stage sleeve overlaps the at least one inflow opening at least in some regions and together form a filter.
