ELECTRONIC BRAKING-FORCE-DISTRIBUTION METHOD

摘要

The invention concerns an electronic braking-force-distribution method which can also contribute to vehicle stability in the event of a failure of the system enabling it to be established that there has been a failure in a vehicle's front axle brake circuit. According to the invention, a pressure-maintenance or pressure-reduction phase is initiated only when the guidelines for minimum vehicle deceleration in the event of a brake circuit failure are met. In this way, first it is ensured that the guidelines are observed and, second, locking of the rear wheels before the front wheels is nevertheless prevented with a high degree of probability. The electronic braking-force-distribution system is thus switched over to less sensitive criteria and so, in the event of manometric switch failure, account is taken of both possibilities, i.e. that the front axle brake circuit is intact or that it is defective.
