Abstract

The invention provides a solution, which makes it possible to determine brake surface temperatures for a vehicle brake system in dependence upon decelerations or accelerations acting on a vehicle in an activated state of the vehicle brake system and to control the vehicle braking system in dependence upon the brake surface temperatures.
