Abstract: A method and a device are disclosed which, as part of an overall brake system i.e. a brake system consisting of a conventional part and a further, for example recuperative part, can cause volume displacements in a brake circuit or in a piston-cylinder unit on a brake pedal. This is used in order to compensate for a change in the pressure conditions through the controllable servobrake in the hydraulic part of the brake system owing to an additional braking action of the further part of the brake system and thereby to blend braking actions of different brake systems to form an overall braking action without the driver realizing this at the brake pedal by changing the position of the pedal. The method can be used, for example, in vehicles in which a braking deceleration is caused by operating an electric machine as a generator to produce current and which additionally have a conventional, hydraulic brake system as a further brake system or backup brake system.

Abstract: A brake booster includes an input element actuatable by a driver, an actuator for generating a support force, an output element that receives at least one of an input or support force and that applies an actuating force to a piston of a brake master cylinder, a force transmission unit having elastic properties and transmitting the input and/or support forces to the output element, and a preload unit acting on the force transmission unit to apply a force couple to the force transmission unit when the brake booster is in idle mode. A method for operating the brake booster includes generating a support force prior to a braking intent to be anticipated or immediately after detection of a braking intent, in a time span before or immediately after detection of an actuation of the input element.

Abstract: A regulatable brake booster and to a method and a control unit for operating same. Using the method for operating the brake booster, as well as the embodiment of the brake booster, a reaction on a driver may be avoided or reduced by an offset of the brake pedal or by a changed operating force in response to a change in the supporting force. The change in the supporting force is particularly an adjustment of the braking effect of an hydraulic braking system to the braking effect of a regenerative braking system.

Abstract: The disclosure relates to a method and a device as part of a complete brake system, that is, a brake system comprising a conventional part and a further part, such as a recuperative part, by means of which volume displacements of brake fluid are possible. The method according to the disclosure and the device according to the disclosure are used particularly if the pressure conditions in the hydraulic part of the brake system are adapted by the controllable braking force amplifier to a change in the additional braking effect of the further part of the brake system. A blending of the braking effects of the different brake systems into a constant total braking effect is thus accomplished, even if the proportion of the individual brake systems in the total braking effect change.
