Abstract
Abstract PCT No. PCT/EP88/00843 Sec. 371 Date Apr. 16, 1990 Sec. 102(e) Date Apr. 16, 1990 PCT Filed Sep. 15, 1988 PCT Pub. No. WO89/02384 PCT Pub. Date Mar. 23, 1989.A process is described for controlling the brake pressure wherein a brake pressure is supplied which corresponds to the desired signal. This pressure is measured. The factors b+/- and the response times To+/- are identified from the pressure pulses P in the individual control cycles and the actuating times +/-T of the valves and they are used to convert the desired signal Px into a control signal +/-T of such a length that the desired pressure is supplied.
