Abstract

The present invention relates to a method for regulating a predetermined modifiable brake pressure in the wheel brakes of a brake system, wherein input quantities determining the brake pressure in the individual wheel brakes are evaluated and correcting variables of hydraulic valves are defined in a control and/or data processing system. To obviate the need for additional pressure sensors which register the pressure in the wheel brakes, it is arranged for by the invention that a characteristic curve is stored in the control or data processing system, said curve correlating the valve characteristics of the hydraulic valve with a pressure difference of the hydraulic valve, and the correcting variable of the hydraulic valve is defined according to the characteristic curve.
