Abstract
A method for braking a vehicle, a braking intervention being performed on at least one wheel of the vehicle, a total brake force for the braking intervention being generated by a hydraulic unit in the vehicle on the one hand, and, on the other hand, by at least one electric motor assigned to the one wheel, which at all times supports the brake force generated by the hydraulic unit, the total brake force being generated by modulating a brake force generated by the hydraulic unit and by modulation of the brake force generated by the electric motor on the at least one wheel, the brake force of the hydraulic unit and the brake force of the electric motor being added to yield the total brake force, and an amount of the particular brake force being controlled by a controller as a function of a driving situation of the vehicle.
