Abstract
The present invention relates to an improved hydraulic brake system for controlled and comfortable braking operations which includes a hydraulic pump for build-up of a hydraulic pressure that effects braking and a valve assembly by way of which the hydraulic pressure can be reduced, the hydraulic system being in particular characterized in that the valve assembly is an analog valve, and in that the analog valve and the hydraulic pump are adapted to be actuated by a control device in such a manner that the brake pressure for comfort braking can be increased or decreased in an essentially continuously variable manner.
