PARKING BRAKE ACTUATION METHOD FOR AN ELECTRIC MOTOR VEHICLE PARKING BRAKE SYSTEM

摘要

In order to actuate electric parking brake systems in a controlled manner without using any force sensor or displacement sensor, a control unit always initiates a primary brake application process while monitoring the current, and secondary or tertiary brake application processes using a greater brake application force are carried out by the control unit exclusively in an automatic manner when a standstill monitoring device detects an unwanted vehicle movement during an interval in which no current is supplied.
