Abstract:
An electrohydraulic brake system, comprising a brake master cylinder. A pressure generating device for actuating wheel brakes and an additional brake actuator may both be activated electronically. In a normal mode of operation, an open- and closed-loop control unit detects a braking demand based on the actuation of a brake pedal by the driver and activates the pressure generating device to build up braking torque at the wheel brakes. If the pressure generating device is not activated, the driver gains direct access to the wheel brakes and the control unit activates the additional brake actuator to build up braking torque. In the fallback mode, when a predetermined pedal travel threshold value is reached, the control loop activates the additional brake actuator to build up braking torque. In the event of a succession of brake pedal actuations by the driver, the pedal travel threshold value is increased at least once.

Claim (Index 10):
A method for operating an electrohydraulic brake system for a motor vehicle comprising:\n actuating a brake master cylinder with a brake, wherein the master cylinder actuates wheel brakes; activating a pressure generating device electronically; activating an additional brake actuator electronically; detecting a braking demand in a normal mode of operation on the basis of the actuation of the brake pedal by the driver; activating the pressure generating device to build up braking torque at the wheel brakes; entering a hydraulic fallback mode when the pressure generating device is not activated, wherein the driver gains direct access to the wheel brakes; actuating an additional brake actuator to build up braking torque; monitoring the brake pedal travel in the fallback mode, activating the additional brake actuator is activated to build up braking torque when a predetermined pedal travel threshold value is reached; and increasing the pedal travel threshold value at least once, in the event of a succession of brake pedal actuations by the driver.
