Abstract

A method for producing a deceleration setpoint value of a motor vehicle with an electropneumatic brake actuatable by a brake pedal, especially a compressed-air-actuated brake, with a sustained action brake and with at least one device for actuating the brake independently of the driver's desire (external actuation) is characterized by the fact that, with external actuation of the brake and with a simultaneous change in the brake pedal, a resultant deceleration setpoint (z_res) is formed in such fashion that, beginning with the externally set deceleration setpoint (z_ext) with simultaneous actuation of the brake pedal, a curve of the resultant deceleration setpoint (z_res) with the pedal travel is produced which reaches complete deceleration upon full brake pedal travel.
