- the term "isolating valve '" a valve is to be understood with which a hydraulic connection between the master brake cylinder and the wheel brakes can be interrupted.
- the separation valve is designed as a “analogized valve", in particular as “analogized electromagnetic valve”.
- Analogized electromagnetic valves are to be understood here as electromagnetic valves which assume a certain switching position by actuation with a certain control current, for the purpose of setting a certain volume flow of hydraulic fluid (brake fluid) through the valves. This means that the valve can also assume intermediate positions by appropriate control between a (fully) open position and a (fully) closed position and thus at least approximately a defined one Set the pressure drop between the two sides of the valve.

If the actuation point of a vacuum brake booster is reached in this system and the brake pedal is pressed further by the driver, then the pressure is increased further by the pump - with insufficient support of the vacuum brake booster - so that the driver receives the desired braking power. Thus, at least part of the brake support can be actively generated by the pump.
- an automatic intervention in the brake control can be implemented in a technically particularly simple and advantageous manner by the method or by means of the device according to the invention.
- the use of the invention for a brake system with an "active booster" is also preferred, in which an externally controlled, i.e. not directly specified by the driver, build-up of brake pressure is realized by means of a valve on the booster

- FIG. 6 shows a block diagram of the structure of an acceleration controller
- LVC 12 shows a brake control system with a higher-level longitudinal vehicle controller (LVC).
- LVC longitudinal vehicle controller
- FIG. 1 The system for regulating the longitudinal vehicle acceleration, hereinafter also referred to as “vehicle acceleration” or “acceleration” for short, is shown in FIG. 1 by means of a block diagram.
- the vehicle has a follow-up and distance control (ACC) with an electronic unit (ACC-ECU) 1.
- the ACC unit 1 has a vehicle speed control unit 2, which can be set by the vehicle driver 3.
- an object distance control unit 4 is provided, to which data from a distance determination unit 5 relating to a preceding object is supplied. This data is based on a Sensor, preferably a radar distance sensor, determined.
- a signal is fed from the vehicle speed control unit 2 to a longitudinal controller 7, which is assigned to a brake control unit, in particular a control unit for a vehicle dynamics control (ESP-ECU) 8.
- the longitudinal controller 7 is also supplied with a signal from the object distance control unit 4 of the ACC system 10.
- the desired acceleration is implemented by the longitudinal controller 7 according to the invention either by means of a pressure control unit 11 which generates a signal 12 for brake control.
- a signal 13 for an engine control unit (EMS-ECU) 15 can also be generated and transmitted.
- the engine control unit (EMS-ECU) then controls or regulates the drive motor according to a specific accelerator pedal position (accelerator pedal position or E-gas).
- the longitudinal controller 7 also referred to as the “longitudinal acceleration controller” or “LAC controller” or “LAC” for short, is shown in more detail in FIG. 2.
- the longitudinal controller 7 is preferably a module (LAC module) ) provided in the software of the electronic braking system (EBS software, such as ESP software).
- EBS software such as ESP software
- the longitudinal controller 7 essentially has the following components:
- a jerk limiter 20 which cleans the requested acceleration signal from any jerky changes that are uncomfortable for the driver.
- a coordinator unit 21 which has a situation logic motor / brake, which, based on an internal longitudinal acceleration request 26, a current brake pressure 28, a moment 29 and the current acceleration 29, decides which actuator is currently necessary to achieve the desired one Acceleration to put
- a deceleration controller 22 which, if the brake is to be controlled or regulated, implements the desired acceleration (usually negative accelerations). This is done by a pressure request 23 to a pressure regulator in the vehicle 24,
- An acceleration controller or vehicle acceleration controller 24 which, if the drive motor of the vehicle is controlled or regulated the desired acceleration (usually positive accelerations) is to be implemented. This is done by an engine torque request 25, which is preferably transmitted to the engine control unit via a vehicle bus system, such as CAN.
- the longitudinal controller 7 receives a longitudinal acceleration request internally or from an external unit such as an ECU, e.g. of an ACC system or from a follow-up control for a stop-and-go driving situation (stop-and-go system) 30, then the controller calculates a corresponding pressure request to the brake system 23 or an engine torque 25 to the engine control system, depending on the current situation, such as acceleration request, current acceleration, vehicle speed or road.
- an external unit such as an ECU, e.g. of an ACC system or from a follow-up control for a stop-and-go driving situation (stop-and-go system) 30
- the controller calculates a corresponding pressure request to the brake system 23 or an engine torque 25 to the engine control system, depending on the current situation, such as acceleration request, current acceleration, vehicle speed or road.
- the brakes of the vehicle are then controlled by setting the internal brake pressure request 23 by the brake pressure controller 22, which controls an active booster or a hydraulic brake booster by means of a pump.
- An engine torque request 25 is then transmitted to the engine control system via a bus system, such as CAN bus.
- the longitudinal controller 7 is preferably provided in systems with an electronic accelerator pedal (E-gas). To make a “smooth" transition between brake control and To implement engine torque control, engine control data are taken into account.
- E-gas electronic accelerator pedal
- the longitudinal controller 7 After receiving an "ACC deceleration request" (a r ⁇ J r, ⁇ cc) 30, preferably via CAN bus, the longitudinal controller 7 suppresses any abrupt changes ("jerks") in the acceleration request that are caused by the jerk limiter 20. Such a “corrected” acceleration request ⁇ acceleration demand intern "st af 26 is then used as a new acceleration request.
- the acceleration control unit 24 calculates a corresponding axis torque that is transmitted into an engine torque request T E 25 ,
- a “torque request” 29 is calculated.
- the request 29 is compared with the minimum possible engine torque 31 that is calculated and sent by the engine control. If the desired torque 29 is below the minimum possible torque 31, the "coordinator brake / motor” 21 activates the brake. If the coordinator 21 switches the brake, the required torque and engine torque are automatically set to the minimum possible value.
- the LDC deceleration controller 22
- the "brake / motor coordinator” 21 switches the motor only when the pressure request of the LDC 7 is zero and the current brake pressure ra 28 falls below a certain limit value, which indicates that the desired deceleration can only be set by the motor.
- the LAC module 7 therefore includes a deceleration control 24 itself, the “jerk Limitation "20 and the brake / motor coordinator 21.
- the LAC module 7 directly addresses the LDC module 22 in order to implement the braking deceleration.
- a “vehicle model” unit 32 is additionally provided for certain applications. A particularly sensitive control can thus be implemented in addition. However, embodiments without the “vehicle model” module 32 are preferred. From the “vehicle model” 32, a determined vehicle deceleration is fed to the jerk controller 20, the coordinator 21 and the Bremen controller 22 33, 34, 35. Information from this unit 32 is also transmitted 37 to the acceleration controller 24. The “vehicle model ⁇ 32” unit determines the data on the basis of vehicle dynamics data 36.
- An acceleration signal is determined in the coordinator 21.
- the acceleration signal 38, 39 is transmitted for the acceleration controller 24 and deceleration controller 22.
- the signal is a special filtered acceleration signal. It is based on an ABS vehicle reference speed and is calculated from the ABS wheel speed sensors. It is calculated that most vehicles are not equipped with a sensor for longitudinal acceleration.

- the LAC controller can assume different states (status), a "LAC mode status", a motor status (Lac_mode 1), a brake status (Lac_mode 2) and a brake prefill status (Lac_mode 3) different states can be operated (see Fig. 4).
- the LAC module 7 is activated by signals (Lac__active signals). They cause a reference torque request to be transmitted to the motor controller 25, which then activates the motor to set the desired acceleration.
- the LAC module 7 can also be activated depending on a moment request 29.
- the desired acceleration is then set by the LDC brake controller 22.
- LAC_STATUS.LAC_ACTIVE The bit for which the active LAC module (LAC_STATUS.LAC_ACTIVE) is set regardless of the higher-level system. But "Lac_active" is only set if the LAC function and / or LDC function are not switched off.
- the LAC controller 7 can be addressed by an ACC ECU, as in the case of an external torque request via CAN-BUS 30.
- Lac_active is set if the conditions are met that an internal actuator request Acc_act_reqi is set.
- the LAC mode status of the system is described below.
- the status Lac_mode (LAC__STATÜS. AC_MODE) shows the current status (mode) of the LAC controller, the motor mode (engine mode (1)) 41, the brake mode (brake mode (2)) 42, the prefill mode (prefill mode (3)) 43 (see Fig. 4).
- the pressure requirement is constant during priming, i.e. not dependent on a possible error in the acceleration control.
- the jerk limiter 20 provides a smooth transition between longitudinal accelerations if the acceleration request (external ACC, a. ⁇ ef, A cc) 30 is replaced by an internal request (a ref ) 26 (cf. Fig.2).
- the internal request a r ⁇ f is set to the filtered current acceleration atu, ⁇ aa for a period of time (loop). Then the internal request a ref is followed by the ACC request a re f, ⁇ cc with maximum gradient. This ensures a homogeneous transition between driver and ACC control.
- Brake prefill mode 43 is started immediately when T " h is slightly above T wh / mia , which indicates the need for brake control 45 (see FIG. 4).
- clutch actuation by the driver in a vehicle with a manual gearbox and excessive braking (overbraking situation) are also taken into account 47, 48 and 49.
- the LAC controller algorithm gives a desired torque “ h 50, which is converted into a corresponding engine torque T E 51.
- a clutch torque 54 is determined by considering 52 a transmission factor 53, from which, taking into account drive engine data (loss of torque) 55 the corresponding engine torque T E 51 is determined 56.
- the engine torque T B 51 is sent to the engine control ECU, preferably via CAN bus.
- the LAC engine torque Requirement T E 51 does not meet the other requirements of electronic brake control systems, such as vehicle dynamics control (ESP), torque control (MSR) or traction control (TCS).
- ESP vehicle dynamics control
- MSR torque control
- TCS traction control
- the LAC torque requirement T " h 29 is kept constant at the lowest possible level so that it does not interfere with the LDC controller 22. If the pressure request P xef from the LDC module 22 has been calculated as zero and if the pressure in the brakes P bra itself is zero, then a brake pressure is no longer required.
- the LAC 7 switches to motor mode 41 or prefill mode 43, depending on the moment T wh calculated at the moment.
- the LAC control algorithm 7 also outputs a desired torque T wh as the engine torque.
- the brakes are activated by a low, constant pressure request so that the air clearances between the brake disc and brake pad are overcome.
- LAC can switch from engine control 41 to brake control 42.
- LAC Control Structure The structure of the LAC controller 7 (LAC Control Structure) is described in more detail below (see Fig. 6).
- the acceleration controller portion 24 of the LAC controller 7 essentially consists of an open control loop (open control loop) 58 and a closed PID controller unit 59.
- auxiliary signals LAC auxiliary signals
- LAC auxiliary signals are used, whereby the direction of the acceleration request, the gradient of the filtered internal acceleration request and the vehicle acceleration are calculated.
- ABS vehicle acceleration Signal a ⁇ 33, 34, 35, 60 filtered with a first-order filter 61.
- a filtered vehicle acceleration a £ ⁇ lrlac 62 is calculated from the ABS vehicle acceleration :
- a control error E ⁇ f lac is determined 72 by subtracting and fed 73 to the PID controller 59.
- the signal a ⁇ r ⁇ a ⁇ is only newly determined at the beginning of a LAC motor mode and remains constant via a motor mode loop (see Fig. 7)
- the gradient of the internal vehicle acceleration request a r et 66 is limited to ⁇ Lac_accel_dem_ctrad_pos, Lac_accel_ de _grad_neg) in normal situations.
- the start value of the internal value a ref at the start of motor mode 67 is set to the current value (a Srla ⁇ ) ati ⁇ , ia ⁇ (see FIG. 7)
- the acceleration request In order to determine the direction ⁇ R at , ⁇ a c) of the acceleration request, the acceleration request a ref and the gradient of the filtered acceleration request Bq ⁇ d ⁇ ⁇ calculated first.
- Bgr a d, ⁇ aa is calculated by subtracting the previous value of a ref from the current value and filtering the result with a first order filter.
- B g ⁇ ad, iaa is then used to calculate the direction.
- the acceleration requirement is regarded as constant, from which follows:
- a filtered vehicle acceleration request gradient agrad.iac is calculated.
- the gradient a grad , Iao is calculated by subtracting the previous value of a f n rlaa from the current value and filtering the result with a first order filter.
- LAC feedforward unit 70 By means of a unit of a model-based instantaneous request “LAC feedforward unit” 70 (see FIG. 6), the approximately linear relation between the Vehicle acceleration and moment in a vehicle on a level road and with a nominal vehicle weight are compensated.
- the LAC feedback part is used to correct all other controller errors, e.g. to compensate for a sloping or rising road surface or different vehicle masses. This is based on the PID controller 59. For comfortable ACC braking, it is important that the LAC signal to the motor controller 24 does not oscillate, but runs smoothly. To achieve this, the controller limits of the PID controller 59 are reduced to zero if the error of the acceleration controller is small.
- the proportionality signal po Pr iaa 75 (Fig. 8) is proportional to the control error E 1> lac 76 with a certain range for small controller errors according to the following formula:
- the maximum absolute value of the proportional part R px ⁇ p, iaa is limited to Lac_max_proportional_part Nm.
- the differentiated signal di ££, ic 77 (see Fig. 9) is proportional to the first derivative (E dtlac ) 78 of the controller error ⁇ rl ac with a special width for small controller errors according to the following formula:
- the maximum value of the differentiated part is £ £, iac limited to Lacjnax_differential_part Nm.
- the integral Rjate t , iac 79 (FIG. 10) is proportional to the sum (E L SU MC ) 80 of the controller error E l ⁇ hc with a special accumulation for small control errors:
- the integral portion Rint, iac is limited to Lac_max__integral_part Nm.
- the acceleration request 83 of the LAC for engine torque control must also be uniform and not oscillating. To achieve this, the gradient of the acceleration request R L , ⁇ ac is limited 84 (see FIG. 6) The maximum positive / negative gradient of the acceleration request is then:
- An engine torque ⁇ 86 is then determined from the final, limited gradient T W h 85, taking into account wheel speed sensor data 87 and drive motor data, engine transmission data and transmission data 88. This is preferably done by units of the electronic brake control system.
- the integral part can be raised if there is a remaining positive accelerator error. This is shown in Fig. 11.
- the required torque is raised to the maximum possible value if the controller error is negative. This prevents a too long delay time (see Fig. 11).
- a higher-level module (total longitudinal vehicle control, LVCges) is integrated into the software structure of an electronic brake control system (EBS). This is shown in Fig.12.
- LVCges 99 within the EBS 98, all functionalities are integrated that have to do with the longitudinal control of the vehicle, such as collision avoidance CAS 100, ACC 101, Stop & Go 102 or cruise control 103, which are essentially based on sensor data 115, 116, 117, 118 from vehicle sensors 119 are based. All requirements of these systems, depending on the definition of internal or external requirements, are transferred in a higher-level status coordinator (LVC-state-machine, LVCges) 104 105,106,107,108. The status coordinator 104 determines an entire request from all requests and transmits this 109 to a central, higher-level acceleration controller LACges 110.
- LVC-state-machine LVCges
- Acceleration controller 110 ensures that the request is implemented quickly or conveniently via brake 111 and motor 112.
- the coordination of the brake 111 and engine 112 is the job of the LACges acceleration controller 110.
- a 114 starting module HSA module 113 activated by the status coordinator LVCges 104 is used to start again after stopping from the vehicle.
- the LVCges status coordinator 104 can be converted to a number of control modes that are activated as required. For example, a mode for a stand-by mode, a hold vehicle mode (vehicle stops), a stop vehicle mode (vehicle stop), a drive-off mode (vehicle runs), and an acceleration controller are provided Mode (vehicle acceleration), a deceleration control mode (vehicle deceleration) and a pressure control mode (brake pressure control).
- a mode for a stand-by mode a hold vehicle mode (vehicle stops), a stop vehicle mode (vehicle stop), a drive-off mode (vehicle runs), and an acceleration controller are provided Mode (vehicle acceleration), a deceleration control mode (vehicle deceleration) and a pressure control mode (brake pressure control).
- the individual requested pressures 120, 121, 122, 123 and a requested torque from the LACges acceleration controller 123 are supplied in a downstream coordinator COA and a total engine torque request 124 or a total brake pressure request 125 is generated.
- the total engine torque request 124 is preferably fed 127, 128 to the drive motor 112 or a transmission or drive 126 via a vehicle bus system (BUS) 126.
- the total brake pressure request 125 is fed to a brake control unit 129 which controls 130 a corresponding brake pressure.
- Data from vehicle sensors 134, such as yaw rate, set steering wheel rotation angle, lateral acceleration, wheel speeds, master cylinder pressure, brake pedal force and wheel brake cylinder pressure, are taken into account in the control 131.
- An output signal 135 from the brake control unit 129 is also fed to a further unit 136, which generates output signals 137, 138 for the HSA 113 and LVCges 104.
- An external acceleration request in particular from an ACC controller 132, can also be taken into account in the control 133.
- known modules 139 of the brake control 139 are also shown, which are also integrated in the higher-level module LVCges 99.
- the different requirements for the longitudinal acceleration of the vehicle caused by the new systems can be via different physical variables (braking pressure, braking torque, deceleration, acceleration) or as binary information, for example “stopping the vehicle”, "Start driving" can be requested.
- Different systems can also make different demands at the same time.
- the requests can come from internally or externally via the CAN BUS 126.
