Abstract

A process and a device for determining the application pressure of a brake mechanism for a vehicle are proposed, where a measure of the pressure in the brake system and a measure of the rotational speed of at least one of the wheels to be braked are detected, and where the time of application of the brake mechanism and thus its application pressure are derived from the change over time in this rotational speed.
