Abstract

In a method for improving the operation of a hydraulic vehicle brake system with an active hydraulic brake boost, wherein a pressure fluid volume flow between a master brake cylinder and the wheel brakes of the vehicle is controlled by means of an analog or analogized separating valve, and wherein a hydraulic pressure is determined in the master brake cylinder, an increase of the hydraulic pressure in the master brake cylinder is monitored and/or controlled on the basis of the hydraulic pressure determined in the master brake cylinder in a transition of the separating valve from a closed switch position to an open switch position.
