METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR COMPENSATING FOR AN INSUFFICIENT PRESSURE BUILD-UP IN THE BRAKE SYSTEM OF A VEHICLE

摘要

The invention relates to a method for compensating for an insufficient pressure build-up in the brake system (12) of a vehicle in the event of a failure or a malfunction of a brake booster (18) for boosting the braking force when an actuating element (16) of the brake system (12) is actuated. The compensation is carried out by means of an assembly (28) for an additional pressure build-up in the brake system (12), and said compensation is activated dependent on a position of the actuating element (16) on the displacement path thereof. A current position of the actuating element (16) on the displacement path is ascertained continuously or periodically, and the activation and the additional pressure build-up are carried out dependent on said ascertained current position. The invention further relates to a corresponding compensating system (10).
