Abstract
A method and an apparatus for controlling a brake system, the brake pressure of at least one wheel brake being controlled electrically as a function of at least the braking request of the driver. The brake system includes a high-pressure reservoir, whose pressure is detected and taken into consideration in controlling the brake system. In case of failure of the reservoir pressure detection system, the reservoir pressure is estimated on the basis of a model, and the estimated reservoir pressure is taken into consideration in controlling the brake system.
