Abstract:
1. Method for improving the control behavior of motor vehicle control comprising electrically driven hydraulic pumps, inlet and outlet valves and low-pressure accumulators, wherein the low-pressure accumulators accommodate, at least in part, pressure fluid that is discharged from wheel brakes in a control operation, wherein the hydraulic pumps are used to return the pressure fluid into a master cylinder, in particular tandem master cylinder, wherein the delivery behavior of the hydraulic pumps is controlled in dependence on pressure values, and wherein the actuation of the hydraulic pumps takes place in conformity with demand, wherein in a pressure decrease phase, the pressure fluid is intermediately stored in the low-pressure accumulators and there is no return delivery of the pressure fluid into the master cylinder until either a pressure increase phase commences, or a critical filling level of the low-pressure accumulator necessitates actuation of the hydraulic pumps for safety reasons, with the result of balancing the volume flow demand and the delivery volume flow and thus achieving a reduction of vibrations of the brake pedal.
