Abstract

A method for generating a target value of a position of an actuator of a brake of a wheel of a motor vehicle is disclosed. Values of another wheel are used and as a result a correction value which corrects a starting value is determined. As a result, a force sensor system on the wheel can be omitted. Further an associated method for controlling an actuator of a brake of a wheel of a motor vehicle and an associated control device are disclosed.

Claims (27)

1 . A method for generating a target value of a position of an actuator of a brake of a wheel of a motor vehicle comprising:

determining a starting value based on a brake request,

determining a correction value based at least on a wheel speed of the wheel, a wheel speed of another wheel and a slip scaling factor, and

correcting the starting value using the correction value.

2 . The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the correction value is also determined based on a vehicle speed of the motor vehicle.

3 . The method as claimed in e claim 1 , further comprising calculating a target wheel speed for the wheel at which the wheel has a slip corresponding to a slip of the other wheel scaled by the slip scaling factor in order to calculate the correction value.

4 . The method as claimed in claim 3 , wherein the correction value is determined based on a difference between the target wheel speed and an actual wheel speed.

5 . The method as claimed in claim 3 , wherein the target wheel speed is calculated as follows in the presence of a value for the vehicle speed: (1−slip scaling factor)*vehicle speed+slip scaling factor*wheel speed of the other wheel.

6 . The method as claimed in claim 3 , wherein the target wheel speed is calculated as follows in the absence of a value for the vehicle speed: slip scaling factor*wheel speed of the other wheel+offset.

7 . The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the correction value is reduced to zero based on its current value after it can no longer be determined.

8 . The method as claimed in claim 7 , wherein the reduction is carried out linearly or in accordance with a predetermined ramp.

9 . The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein an actuating force on the other wheel is controlled based on at least one of: a measured value of the actuating force on the other wheel, and a measured value of the actuating force on the wheel is not used.

10 . The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein, the correction value is one of added to the starting value and subtracted from the starting value during correction.

11 . The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the starting value is at least one of determined from the brake request using a predefined table or function, and is set to a predefined standby value in the absence of a brake request.

12 . The method as claimed in claim 11 , wherein, after a correction value or multiple correction values have been determined, a scaling factor is calculated based on at least one correction value and at least one starting value, and the table or function is scaled using the scaling factor.

13 . The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein at least one of the wheel and the other wheel are associated with different axles, the wheel is a rear wheel and the other wheel is a front wheel, and wherein the wheel and the other wheel are on the same side.

14 . A method for controlling an actuator of a brake of a wheel of a motor vehicle, wherein the method comprising:

generating a target value of a position of the actuator by:

determining a starting value based on a brake request,

determining a correction value based at least on a wheel speed of the wheel, a wheel speed of another wheel and a slip scaling factor, and

correcting the starting value using the correction value,

determining a difference by subtracting an actual value of the position of the actuator from the target value, and

determining a target rotational speed of the actuator based on the difference.

15 . A control device for a brake of a wheel of a motor vehicle, wherein the control device is configured for carrying instructions for:

determining a starting value based on a brake request,

determining a correction value based at least on a wheel speed of the wheel, a wheel speed of another wheel and a slip scaling factor, and

correcting the starting value using the correction value.
