Abstract
Device and method for controlling at least one operating-dynamics variable of a vehicle in closed loop. The device includes a braking system which contains a reservoir for accommodating a braking medium, and at least one brake circuit. The brake circuit includes first valve arrangements on the output side and a second valve arrangement on the incoming side. Wheel brake cylinders allocated to the brake circuit are connected to the first valve arrangements. The reservoir is connected to the second valve arrangement. The device includes a system with which the wheel brake cylinder exhibiting the greatest brake pressure is ascertained for the at least one brake circuit. If a driver-independent brake actuation exists, then the brake pressure of the wheel brake cylinder exhibiting the greatest brake pressure is adjusted by appropriate driving of the second valve arrangement. To adjust, in each case, the brake pressure of the remaining wheel brake cylinders of the brake circuit, the first valve arrangement allocated to the respective wheel brake cylinder is appropriately driven, in addition to the second valve arrangement.
