Abstract

For externally actuating a brake system, both the surroundings of the brake pedal and, if necessary, additional parameters (d,d ,Vref) are monitored a sensor unit (6,10,11). Then the brake pressure (pnom) will be set automatically in an expedient manner in dependence of the individual parameters that were evaluated. Advantageous further embodiments include proposals for precharging the brake or braking slightly or automatically applying a higher brake pressure in dependence of the measuring results, in so far as this is reasonable with respect to road conditions and the driver's wishes as they were assumed by the system.
