    摘要: A lining carrier (1) for a disc brake has a friction lining (2), and the lining carrier (1) is arranged in a lining carrier shaft (6) of a brake carrier (7). The lining carrier (1) has a front side (3) which faces the friction lining (2), a rear side (4) which faces away from the friction lining (2), and an edge face (5) which extends around a perimeter of the rear side (4) A region (8) of the edge face (5) that faces the lining carrier shaft (6) has a recess (9). A reinforcing rib (10; 10b) is arranged centrally on the recess (9).

    摘要: A method for monitoring an ABS control procedure in an electrically controllable brake system in a vehicle includes reading in input signals, wherein based on the input signals it is possible to derive currently prevailing control variables for the ABS control procedure and ABS control parameters that relate to a brake slip-controlled actuation of an ABS control valve of the brake system. The method further includes checking whether it follows that an activation of any ABS control valve that is allocated to a wheel of the vehicle is requested, and whether it follows that an ABS brake slip incident is present at at least a first wheel of the vehicle, and/or whether, based on the ABS control parameters, it follows that further ABS control valves, which are allocated at least to one second wheel of the vehicle, implement correctly a brake slip-controlled activation.

    摘要: An electromechanical brake actuator (102, 202, 302, 402) for a brake, in particular a commercial vehicle disc brake, has an electric motor (106, 206) for generating a drive torque, a cam disc (108, 208, 308, 408) operatively connected to the electric motor (106, 206) and mounted in a rotationally movable manner, and a brake plunger (114, 214, 314) which can be moved along a plunger axis for the actuation of a brake lever (358) of the brake (368). The cam disc (108, 208, 308, 408) and the brake plunger (114, 214, 314) have contact faces which are in contact with one another and slide or roll on one another for the direct transmission of the drive torque between the cam disc (108, 208, 308, 408) and the brake plunger (114, 214, 314).

    摘要: A method for determining a dynamic vehicle distance between a following vehicle and a preceding vehicle of a platoon, wherein a V2V signal is configured to be transmitted in a wireless manner between the following vehicle and the preceding vehicle, includes determining a current maximum following vehicle deceleration of the following vehicle, determining a current transmission time for transmitting information from the preceding vehicle to the following vehicle, determining a current maximum preceding vehicle deceleration of the preceding vehicle, and determining the dynamic vehicle distance comprising a transmission distance and a braking distance difference. The transmission distance indicates a distance traveled by the following vehicle between the preceding vehicle initiating an emergency braking procedure and the following vehicle initiating an emergency braking procedure. The transmission distance is dependent upon the current transmission time.

    摘要: An air supply unit for a pneumatic system is provided herein. The unit includes a compressor inlet for receiving compressed air in a supply mode. The unit further includes a consumption outlet for connecting at least one consumption circuit. The unit further includes an air processing unit connected to the compressor inlet for drying and filtering the compressed air and delivering dried compressed air at its outlet. The unit further includes a supply line extending from the outlet to the consumption outlet. The unit further includes a purge tank connected to the supply line. The purge tank is connected to the supply line through a throttle for pressure reduction of the purge air. In order to realize a short filling time, the purge tank is further connected to the supply line by a filling valve. The filling valve is open in the supply mode and blocking in the purge mode.

    摘要: A method for ascertaining an autonomous emergency braking operation of an ego-vehicle. The method includes picking up driving dynamics variables of the ego-vehicle, picking up distance measurement signals, and ascertaining at least one longitudinal distance of the ego-vehicle from a forward object. The method further includes determining whether an emergency braking operation is to be initiated on the basis of the driving dynamics variables and the distance measurement signals. If a decision is made to initiate an emergency braking operation, the method additionally includes ascertaining a first starting point for initiating a warning phase by outputting a warning signal without initiating a braking operation, a second starting point for initiating a subsequent partial braking phase with a lower partial-braking braking pressure, and a third starting point for initiating a subsequent emergency braking phase to initiate an emergency braking phase with a higher emergency-braking braking pressure.

    摘要: A method for controlling a vehicle when driving on a bend, includes determining bend information, wherein the bend information characterizes a further course of the bend in a direction of travel after a current position of the vehicle, determining predicted lateral acceleration values based on the bend information, wherein each of the predicted lateral acceleration values indicates a lateral acceleration predicted to act on the vehicle at a respective one of a plurality of future positions over the further course of the bend, and determining the probability of overturning at the future positions based on the predicted lateral acceleration values by comparing the predicted lateral acceleration values with a lateral acceleration limit value. A roll stability control system outputs a reduced deceleration request if the predicted lateral acceleration values undershoot the lateral acceleration limit value at least in certain regions.

    摘要: A method for identifying and/or controlling a coupling procedure between a towing vehicle and a vehicle trailer that is embodied as a semi-trailer includes determining a contact between the coupling plate of the towing vehicle and the fifth wheel plate of the semi-trailer by way of a change of an adjusting speed with which a distance between the at least one rear axle of the towing vehicle and the locking device of the coupling plate is increased. The towing vehicle comprises a coupling plate and the semi-trailer comprises a fifth wheel plate having a king pin that is fixed in the coupled state in a locking device of the coupling plate and the towing vehicle comprises a pneumatic level controlling device by way of which it is possible to set different distances between at least one rear axle of the towing vehicle and the locking device of the coupling plate.
