Abstract
In a method for controlling the braking process of a motor vehicle, nonlinear boosting of the braking force is performed if the actuating speed of the brake pedal exceeds a specified trigger threshold value. This trigger threshold value is formed as a function of the instantaneous speed of the motor vehicle, the pedal position of the brake pedal or a variable directly proportional thereto, and of a motor vehicle specific, brake dependent correction value.
