Abstract
A method and a device for controlling the braking system of a vehicle that includes at least two subvehicles. In this context, at least one of these subvehicles is provided with an electrically controllable braking system. A correcting quantity is determined from operating variables of the first subvehicle for influencing the longitudinal forces between the vehicle sections during a braking process. The correcting quantity is determined repeatedly during a braking process, the determination of the correcting quantity being effected more quickly at the beginning of a braking than in the course of the braking process. Furthermore, the correcting quantity is determined in such a way that the ratio of braking force to normal force in both subvehicles is essentially adjusted to the same value.
