Method for carrying out an automatic braking procedure to ensure braking efficiency in wheel brake devices in wet weather uses the number of front windscreen wiper cycles to determine an intercept value

摘要

An automatic braking procedure operates as a vehicle slows down in a manner that is imperceptible to a driver, if an intercept value has reached a triggering threshold value. The number of wiper cycles for a front windscreen wiper forms the intercept value. A start-up value is set upon engine ignition. The intercept value is reset at the start-up value after the automatic braking procedure is concluded.
