METHOD AND DEVICE FOR CONTROLLING THE BRAKING EQUIPMENT OF A MOTOR VEHICLE

摘要

The invention relates to a method and a device for controlling the braking equipment of a motor vehicle. To this end, an operating state of a motor vehicle is determined, whereby the motor vehicle goes from one state during which the speed of said motor vehicle is different from zero, into another state during which the vehicle is stationary. If one such transition from a driving state to a stationary state is determined, the braking equipment of the motor vehicle is controlled in such a way that brake forces are produced which are appropriate for bringing the motor vehicle into a stationary state and/or assisting the driver of the vehicle. Furthermore, brake forces required to keep the vehicle stationary can be produced in the stationary state. The invention also enables the driver of a vehicle to be assisted when starting a motor vehicle. To this end, an operating state of the motor vehicle is detected, whereby said motor vehicle goes from a stationary state to a driving state. In the presence of one such operating state, the braking equipment of the motor vehicle is controlled in such a way that the brake forces produced by the braking equipment in the stationary state are reduced in such a way that a transition into the driving state is achieved and/or the driver of the vehicle is assisted.
