Technique for Determining an Actuating Force Applied to a Vehicle Brake that can be Actuated Hydraulically and Mechanically

摘要

A technique for determining an actuating force applied to a vehicle brake is described, wherein the vehicle brake is equipped with an electromechanical brake actuator, and wherein a first actuating-force component is generated mechanically by actuating the electromechanical brake actuator and a second actuating-force component is generated hydraulically by actuating a hydraulic pressure source. A method aspect comprises the steps of detecting a first parameter relative to the electromechanical brake actuator and indicating the first actuating-force component, determining a second parameter indicating the second actuating-force component from a progression of the detected first parameter, and determining the actuating force applied to the vehicle brake from the first and the second parameters.
