Method and device for operating a parking brake system
A method for operating a parking brake system includes establishing a parking brake request for a first automated parking brake constructed on a first wheel located on a first side of an axle of a motor vehicle, producing a braking force at the first wheel by activating, in response to the establishing of the parking brake request, the first automated parking brake, and activating a compensation device connecting the first wheel and a second wheel located on a second side of the axle to apply a braking force to the second wheel via the first wheel.
1. A motor vehicle system for operating a parking brake system, comprising:
a motor vehicle including at least one vehicle axle;
a first wheel at a first side of the vehicle axle;
a second wheel at an opposite second side of the vehicle axle;
an activatable compensation device operably connected to the first wheel and the second wheel;
a first automated parking brake constructed on the first wheel; and
a control device operably connected to the activatable compensation device, the control device configured to activate the activatable compensation device to apply a braking force to the second wheel via the first wheel in response to a braking force being produced at the first wheel by the first automated parking brake in response to a parking brake request,
wherein there is no automated parking brake constructed on the second wheel, and
wherein the control device is configured to activate the compensation device when the parking brake request is established, such that the activation of the compensation device is carried out prior to activation of the first automated parking brake.
2. The motor vehicle system according to claim 1 , wherein the control device is further configured to activate the compensation device when a wheel rotation of at least one of the first wheel and the second wheel is determined.
3. The motor vehicle system method according to claim 1 , wherein the control device is configured to apply a variable braking force to the second wheel by the activation of the compensation device.
4. The motor vehicle system according to claim 1 , wherein applying the braking force results in a braking action, and the control device is further configured to adjust a uniformity of the braking action while applying the braking force to the second wheel.
5. The motor vehicle system according to claim 3 , wherein the control device is further configured to adjust the uniformity of the braking action based upon wheel speed information.
6. The motor vehicle system according to claim 5 , wherein the control device is further configured to analyze a wheel speed of the first wheel and to analyze a wheel speed of the second wheel to generate the wheel speed information.
7. The motor vehicle system according to claim 6 , wherein the control device is further configured to analyze wheel speeds of wheels of a second vehicle axle to generate the wheel speed information.
8. A parking brake system, comprising:
a motor vehicle;
at least one vehicle axle having a first wheel at one side and a second wheel at an opposite side of the at least one vehicle axle;
an activatable compensation device connecting the first wheel and the second wheel; and
an automated parking brake constructed on the first wheel,
wherein there is no automated parking brake constructed on the second wheel.
9. The parking brake system according to claim 8 , wherein the automated parking brake is the only automated parking brake of the motor vehicle.
10. The parking brake system according to claim 8 , wherein the activatable compensation device is constructed as an electronically controlled locking differential.
