BRAKE CONTROLLER FOR A VEHICLE

摘要

The present invention relates to a method for activating a brake device of a vehicle, in particular of a rail vehicle for high-speed operation, in which, in a determination step, at least one actual deceleration signal which is representative of a current actual decleration of the vehicle (101) in a longitudinal direction of a vehicle and is independent of an operating state of the brake device (107) of the vehicle (101) is determined and, in a comparison step, the actual deceleration signal is compared with a predeterminable desired decleration signal, wherein the desired deceleration signal is representative of a currently predetermined desired deceleration of the vehicle (101), and, in an actuating step, at least one brake unit (105, 106) of the brake device (107) is activated depending on the result of the comparison step in order to assist a braking action of the brake device (107). The actual deceleration signal is determined in the determination step using a plurality of component signals which are independent of one another, wherein each component signal is representative of the current actual deceleration of the vehicle (101) in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle.
