Abstract

See full text

A method of shortening the braking distance in critical driving situations uses the criterion of exceeding of a first threshold value by the actuating speed of the brake pedal (v.sub.BP) by the vehicle driver for initiating an automatic braking operation. A brake pressure (p.sub.B,max) which corresponds to the value of the brake pressure with optimum deceleration of the vehicle is built up automatically immediately after initiation of the automatic braking operation.
