Methods for temporarily changing the friction coefficient characteristic of a braking system and vehicle

Abstract

The invention relates to a method (100) for temporarily changing the friction characteristic of a friction brake (101) in a vehicle, comprising the steps of: - determining or selecting a value for a current or real friction factor as a function of at least one parameter that influences the coefficient of friction between a brake pad and a brake disc or a brake drum; - determining or selecting an adaptation period (112) for changing the friction characteristic; - applying the changed current or real friction characteristic for the adaptation period, wherein the changed current or real friction characteristic utilizes the determined or selected current or real friction factor. The invention also relates to a brake system (116) for carrying out a corresponding method (100) and a vehicle with a corresponding brake system.
