METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR COMPENSATION OF AN INSUFFICIENT PRESSURE BUILDUP IN THE BRAKING SYSTEM OF A VEHICLE

摘要

A method is described for compensation of an insufficient pressure buildup in the braking system of a vehicle in the event of a failure or malfunction of a brake booster for brake force support when an actuating element of the braking system is actuated, the compensation occurring with the aid of a unit for an additional pressure buildup in the braking system and triggering of this compensation occurring as a function of a position of the actuating element in its adjustment travel. An instantaneous position of the actuating element in the adjustment travel is ascertained continuously or periodically, and the triggering and the additional pressure build-up occur as a function of this ascertained instantaneous position. Also described is a corresponding compensating system.
