Abstract
Abstract A brake pressure control method in a vehicle brake system equipped with an electronically adjustable brake pressure booster provides that, during a braking operation, a stored design value (p soll ) of the brake pressure constantly is associated with a respective instantaneous actuating speed (v ped ) of a brake pedal. The the actual value (p Br ) of the brake pressure is also measured at this instant and compared with the design value, and as a result, the pressure originating from the brake pressure booster output is adjusted in response to the result of the comparison between the design and actual values, so that the actual value converges to the corresponding design value.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 2
Claim 1
Independent Claim
121 words
A brake pressure control method in a vehicle brake system equipped with an electronically adjustable brake pressure booster, with which an actuating speed of a brake pedal is determined and brake pressure boosting effected in response to the same, the method comprising the steps of: constantly associating a stored brake pressure design value with a respective instantaneous actuating speed of the brake pedal during a braking operation; measuring an actual brake pressure value and comparing the actual brake pressure value with the design value; and adjusting a pressure originating from the brake pressure booster in response to a result of the comparison between the design value and the actual value, so that the actual value converges to the corresponding design value.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim

A brake pressure control method in a vehicle brake system equipped with an electronically adjustable brake pressure booster, with which an actuating speed of a brake pedal is determined and brake pressure boosting effected in response to the same, the method comprising the steps of: constantly associating a stored brake pressure design value with a respective instantaneous actuating speed of the brake pedal during a braking operation; measuring an actual brake pressure value and comparing the actual brake pressure value with the design value; and adjusting a pressure originating from the brake pressure booster in response to a result of the comparison between the design value and the actual value, so that the actual value converges to the corresponding design value.
