An operational state of a brake system is determined by detecting operating parameters such as actual vehicle acceleration, state of the brake light switch, vehicle velocity, inlet pressure at the master cylinder, and status of the ABS. A nominal value for vehicle deceleration is then determined based on the operation state of the vehicle. During a control phase, which may be switched on based on the rate of build-up of inlet pressure, the nominal value is determined independently of the magnitude of pedal actuation by the driver.
