Method for the automated electronic control of a brake system in a vehicle , in particular a utility vehicle , comprising at least the steps of: - reading a brake request signal (S1) for the automated electronic actuation of brakes in the vehicle , wherein requests (aSoll, vSoll) to be implemented by the brakes are transmitted via the brake request signal (S1) in order to bring about automatically requested vehicle target longitudinal dynamics (DSoll); - determining a brake pressure distribution (φ) indicating a ratio of a front-axle brake pressure (pVA) of a front axle (VA) and a rear-axle brake pressure (pVH) of a rear axle (HA); - providing at least a first brake pressure signal (SB1, SB2) from a first electronic control unit to at least a first electropneumatic control device taking into account the brake request signal (S1) and the brake pressure distribution (φ) in order to modulate at least the front-axle brake pressure (pVA) and the rear-axle brake pressure (pVH); - receiving the brake pressure distribution (φ) at a second electronic control unit and storing the detected brake pressure distribution (φS); and in the event that the brake request signal (S1) cannot be or cannot be correctly processed or read: - receiving the brake request signal (S1) or a redundant brake request signal (SR) at the second electronic control unit , and - in response to the reception of the brake request signal (S1) or the redundant brake request signal (SR) at the second electronic control unit , modulating a redundant front-axle brake pressure (pRVA) and a redundant rear-axle brake pressure (pRVH) taking into account the stored brake pressure distribution (φS). - reading a brake request signal (S1) for the automated electronic actuation of brakes in the vehicle , wherein requests (aSoll, vSoll) to be implemented by the brakes are transmitted via the brake request signal (S1) in order to bring about automatically requested vehicle target longitudinal dynamics (DSoll); - determining a brake pressure distribution (φ) indicating a ratio of a front-axle brake pressure (pVA) of a front axle (VA) and a rear-axle brake pressure (pVH) of a rear axle (HA); - providing at least a first brake pressure signal (SB1, SB2) from a first electronic control unit to at least a first electropneumatic control device taking into account the brake request signal (S1) and the brake pressure distribution (φ) in order to modulate at least the front-axle brake pressure (pVA) and the rear-axle brake pressure (pVH); - receiving the brake pressure distribution (φ) at a second electronic control unit and storing the detected brake pressure distribution (φS); and in the event that the brake request signal (S1) cannot be or cannot be correctly processed or read: - receiving the brake request signal (S1) or a redundant brake request signal (SR) at the second electronic control unit , and - in response to the reception of the brake request signal (S1) or the redundant brake request signal (SR) at the second electronic control unit , modulating a redundant front-axle brake pressure (pRVA) and a redundant rear-axle brake pressure (pRVH) taking into account the stored brake pressure distribution (φS). <EOS>
