Abstract
A brake pedal module for a brake-by-wire brake system of a vehicle is disclosed, having a brake pedal, which can be secured pivotably on the vehicle and can be moved between a rest position and an end position, and a feedback unit for producing a resistance during actuation of the brake pedal. The feedback unit has a first counterforce unit, which urges the brake pedal into the rest position, and at least one further counterforce unit, which acts in parallel with the first counterforce unit as regards their interconnection, and/or a damping unit, which acts in parallel with the first counterforce unit as regards their interconnection.
