Patent ID: 8548707

Claim:
A braking system for a vehicle having a hybrid drive, comprising: at least one of (a) a regenerative brake and/or (b) a service brake adapted to brake at least one wheel of at least one axle of the vehicle; and a vehicle stability control system adapted to ascertain state variables describing a driving dynamics of the vehicle for which at least one of (a) threshold values and/or (b) threshold value combinations exist, the vehicle stability control system adapted to effect a wheel-specific braking force control in response to at least one of (a) reaching, (b) exceeding, and/or (c) undershooting at least one of (a) one of the threshold values and/or (b) one of the threshold value combinations; wherein a predefined maximum regenerative braking force is determinable in accordance with state variables ascertained by the vehicle stability control system, and the regenerative brake is controllable such that the regenerative braking force exerted on the at least one wheel does not exceed the determined predefined maximum regenerative braking force wherein the predefined maximum regenerative braking force is determinable such that individual ascertained state variables maintain a first safety margin distance from at least one of (a) the threshold values and/or (b) the threshold value combinations; and wherein the predefined maximum regenerative braking force is set to zero as soon as one of the state variables undershoots a second safety margin distance within the first safety margin distance from a corresponding one of (a) the threshold values and/or (b) the threshold value combinations.
