    Abstract: A brake system control module for use in a brake system is provided. The brake system control module includes a reservoir tank having a brake fluid level sensor. The brake system control module automatically determines if the brake fluid level sensor detects a low fluid level in the reservoir tank and monitors a value of sensors to determine if the value of the sensors is less than or greater than evac and fill start and stop thresholds. The brake system control module further manages an evacuation and a filling of the brake system based on the value of the sensors.

    Abstract: A brake pad state estimation device estimates a brake pad state including at least one of a wear volume and a temperature of a brake pad of a vehicle. The brake pad state estimation device performs: a brake pad state calculation process calculating the brake pad state based on sensor detection information during braking; and an information output process storing the brake pad state information in a storage and/or transmitting the brake pad state information to the outside. The brake pad state estimation device variably sets a processing frequency of at least one of the brake pad state calculation process and the information output process. The processing frequency when a vehicle speed is lower is lower than the processing frequency when the vehicle speed is higher, or the processing frequency when a brake pressure is lower is lower than the processing frequency when the brake pressure is higher.

    Abstract: A method for updating a configuration of a braking arrangement in a vehicle is provided. The method comprises obtaining sensor data indicative of a status of the vehicle and/or of the braking arrangement during at least a part of a braking operation performed by the braking arrangement. The method further comprises predicting, based on the obtained sensor data, at least one component that are part of the braking arrangement. The method further comprises in response to detecting that the configuration of the braking arrangement does not comply with the at least one component, updating the configuration to be based on the at least one component.

    Abstract: A method for braking a vehicle. The method includes: sensing a braking request signal which represents a target deceleration of the vehicle; generating, using a first pressure generating device, a hydraulic brake pressure in a wheel-brake cylinder based on the sensed braking request signal; detecting a fault state of the first pressure generating device; ascertaining a replacement braking request signal if a fault state of the first pressure generating device is detected, the replacement braking request signal being ascertained based on a target deceleration known at a predetermined time point prior to the detection of the fault state; and generating, using a brake pressure control system, a replacement brake pressure in the wheel-brake cylinder based on the ascertained replacement braking request signal, which brake pressure control system has a second pressure generating device which is hydraulically coupled to the wheel-brake cylinder.

    Abstract: A vehicle braking device includes a first pressurizing unit including a cylinder, a piston slidable in the cylinder, an electric motor that drives the piston, and an output chamber partitioned by the cylinder and the piston. The first pressurizing unit is configured such that a connection state between the output chamber and a reservoir is switched between communication and cut-off states according to the piston position, and the first pressurizing unit is capable of pressurizing fluid by decreasing a volume of the output chamber by movement of the piston to one axial direction side; a pressure sensor that detects a pressure of the output chamber; and an estimation unit that executes a position estimation process of moving the piston and estimating a switching position of the piston at which the connection state of the output chamber and the reservoir is switched based on a detection value of the pressure sensor.
