BRAKE SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR BRAKING A VEHICLE

A method for braking a vehicle. The method includes: sensing a braking request signal which represents a target deceleration of the vehicle; generating, using a first pressure generating device, a hydraulic brake pressure in a wheel-brake cylinder based on the sensed braking request signal; detecting a fault state of the first pressure generating device; ascertaining a replacement braking request signal if a fault state of the first pressure generating device is detected, the replacement braking request signal being ascertained based on a target deceleration known at a predetermined time point prior to the detection of the fault state; and generating, using a brake pressure control system, a replacement brake pressure in the wheel-brake cylinder based on the ascertained replacement braking request signal, which brake pressure control system has a second pressure generating device which is hydraulically coupled to the wheel-brake cylinder.
