  • Method and brake system for modifying and adjusting the braking force in a vehicle
    Publication number: 20040155523
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for modifying and adjusting the braking force in a hydraulic brake system in a vehicle, whereby the pedal control exercised by the driver is measured and is converted via a predefined function into braking pressure to be produced in a wheel brake device, said pressure corresponding to a deceleration of the vehicle. In order to increase the braking safety, the braking pressure or the variable correlating with the braking pressure can be individually manipulated as a function of the pedal control within a section of said pedal control between the initial starting point and maximum pedal control point.
