Abstract
A brake force controller for vehicles, particularly automotive vehicles, with a back-control of the brake pressure of the pressure control medium for enabling various control conditions in response to input signals. The input signals are formed in accordance with sensed conditions including at least one of circumferential wheel force, pressure in the master brake cylinder, pressure in the wheel brake cylinder, a predetermined critical or limit pressure in the wheel brake cylinder, the pressure in the wheel brake cylinder when the maximum is exceeded which is stored, and first and second time intervals corresponding to the length of time predetermined control conditions are effective, respectively. In accordance with the signals, the back-control is effective for enabling control conditions of rapid pressure increase, pressure decrease, pressure maintained and gradual pressure increase.
