Abstract

A method for distributing the braking force between the front and rear axles, pressure is built up and released alternately at the rear axle brakes, so that, on average, a saturation pressure is reached which is below the primary pressure specified by the driver. This method is suitable especially for brake systems without pressure reducers for the rear wheel brakes, when, in the absence of input information, the electronic distribution of the braking force is no longer possible.
