Abstract
Disclosed herein is a method of determining the brake pedal actuation force exerted by a vehicle driver on an actuating pedal in an electrohydraulic brake system which includes a brake master cylinder and an electromechanically driven booster stage connected upstream of the brake master cylinder. The brake pedal actuation force sought is determined according to the formula FPed,Bet=FBet,Hz−FVerst by evaluating output signals of a pressure sensor which detects the pressure induced in the brake master cylinder, and of an auxiliary force determining device which detects the boost force made available by the booster stage.
