In a brake control system for mitigating the consequences of an accident in the case of a rear-on collision of a motor vehicle, it is provided that a comparison signal assigned to the positive longitudinal acceleration of the vehicle is determined, that the comparison signal is compared with a threshold value and that, in the event that the comparison signal exceeds the threshold value, a braking signal triggering the vehicle brake is generated.
