Abstract
A process and a system for briefly stopping a vehicle which utilizes a secondary brake circuit. In the present case, the problem is to be solved that the vehicle operator must exercise high brake holding forces in a stopped condition and, because of a constant slip stick effect, there will be a brake creaking. This object is achieved in that a braking intervention is carried out by an external power or secondary brake circuit when the vehicle speed falls below a defined limit value and an active braking intervention by the vehicle operator takes place beyond a given first rate, the operation of the brake pedal being continuously monitored by the vehicle operator.
