METHOD FOR OPERATING AN ELECTROMECHANICAL BRAKE BOOSTER AND CONTROL UNIT FOR AN ELECTROMECHANICAL BRAKE BOOSTER - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18485792 titled 'METHOD FOR OPERATING AN ELECTROMECHANICAL BRAKE BOOSTER AND CONTROL UNIT FOR AN ELECTROMECHANICAL BRAKE BOOSTER
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a method for operating an electromechanical brake booster in a vehicle's brake system. The method involves determining a virtual dynamic brake pressure value based on the driver's braking request, pedal travel, clearance value, and stiffness factor of the brake system.
- The virtual dynamic brake pressure value is calculated in the control unit of the brake booster.
- The pedal travel of the brake pedal is used to determine the driver's braking request.
- The clearance value and stiffness factor of the brake system are obtained from the brake control unit via a data bus.
Potential Applications
This technology can be applied in various vehicles, such as cars, trucks, and buses, to improve braking performance and safety.
Problems Solved
1. Enhanced control over brake pressure based on driver input. 2. Optimization of brake system performance by considering various factors.
Benefits
1. Improved braking response and efficiency. 2. Enhanced safety for drivers and passengers. 3. Better overall vehicle performance and handling.
Potential Commercial Applications
"Optimizing Brake Pressure in Vehicles for Improved Safety and Performance"
Possible Prior Art
There may be prior art related to brake pressure optimization systems in vehicles, but specific examples are not provided in the abstract.
Unanswered Questions
How does this technology impact overall vehicle handling and performance?
This technology can potentially improve vehicle handling and performance by optimizing brake pressure based on various factors. It would be interesting to explore how this impacts the overall driving experience and vehicle dynamics.
What are the potential cost implications of implementing this technology in vehicles?
The abstract does not mention the cost implications of implementing this technology. It would be valuable to understand how this innovation may affect the cost of vehicles or brake system maintenance.
Original Abstract Submitted
A method for operating an electromechanical brake booster of a brake system of a vehicle. A virtual dynamic brake pressure value representing a driver braking request of a driver of the vehicle is determined in a control unit of the brake booster using a pedal travel of a brake pedal of the vehicle acquired at the brake booster, a clearance value of the brake system read in via a data bus of the vehicle from a brake control unit of the brake system, and a stiffness factor of the brake system read in via the data bus from the brake control unit.
