Abstract:
1. A method for detecting a braking intention, comprising: ascertaining at least one sensor variable; and establishing at least one setpoint braking power with respect to a braking intention specified by at least one of (i) a driver of a vehicle having a braking system and (ii) by an automatic vehicle control system of the vehicle, taking the at least one ascertained sensor variable into consideration; wherein the at least one sensor variable includes: a variable regarding at least one of a position and an adjustment travel of an output rod of the braking system; a variable regarding at least one of a position and an adjustment travel of a booster body of the braking system; a variable regarding at least one of a position and an adjustment travel of a timing case of the braking system; a variable regarding at least one of a position, an adjustment travel, and a rotation angle of at least one component of a motor of an electromechanical brake booster of the braking system; a variable regarding at least one of a position, an adjustment travel, and a rotation angle of at least one component of a thread of the electromechanical brake booster of the braking system; and a variable regarding at least one of a shape and a deformation of a reaction disk of the braking system; and wherein the at least one setpoint braking power is established exclusively by taking the at least one variable into consideration and wherein the at least one setpoint braking power includes at least one of: a setpoint braking force to be applied to at least one wheel of the vehicle; a setpoint braking torque to be applied to the at least one wheel; a setpoint deceleration of the vehicle; and a setpoint brake pressure to be set in at least one wheel brake cylinder of the braking system.
