Abstract

In a method for determining the temperature of a wheel-braking device of a brake system, the current disc temperature of the brake disc is determined based on the last-determined disc temperature, the energy supplied to the brake disc since the last temperature determination, and the energy discharged by the brake disc since the last temperature determination. The current caliper temperature of the brake caliper of the wheel-braking device is determined by means of the current disc temperature of the brake disc.
