Abstract

The invention relates to a method for providing controlled braking of a motor vehicle and a brake system for carrying out the method. The brake system includes a central unit and brake actuators for each wheel of the motor vehicle. The brake actuators are connected to the central unit. In the central unit, a relative braking-force distribution key is computed at time intervals and is transmitted to the brake actuators. With a braking operation, the absolute braking force for the braking operation is computed in each brake actuator from the corresponding component of the relative braking-force distribution key.
