Abstract
In a method for adjusting a braking system in a vehicle, a collision of the vehicle is detected and a driver-independent brake intervention is performed. In a first step, after the collision a check is performed to see whether the wheel speed of a wheel is reduced, for example, through a jamming in the wheel housing, in which case in a second step at least one second wheel in the vehicle is decelerated in order to prevent a uncontrolled swerving of the vehicle.

1-13. (canceled)
A method for adjusting a braking system in a vehicle, the method comprising:
- detecting a collision of the vehicle;
- performing, in the event of a collision, a driver-independent brake intervention;
- performing, after a collision, a check to determine one of (i) whether a wheel speed of a wheel is reduced to the extent that a reduction of the wheel speed exceeds a speed reduction limit value, and (ii) whether the wheel is blocked;
- and
- decelerating, in the event that the reduction of the wheel speed exceeds the speed reduction limit value or that the wheel is blocked, at least one additional wheel in the vehicle.
A regulation/control device for adjusting a braking system in a vehicle, comprising:
- a detecting arrangement to detect a collision of the vehicle;
- a driver-independent brake intervention arrangement to perform, in the event of a collision, a driver-independent brake intervention;
- a checking arrangement to perform, after a collision, a check to determine one of (i) whether a wheel speed of a wheel is reduced to the extent that a reduction of the wheel speed exceeds a speed reduction limit value, and (ii) whether the wheel is blocked;
- and
- a decelerating arrangement, in the event that the reduction of the wheel speed exceeds the speed reduction limit value or that the wheel is blocked, to decelerate at least one additional wheel in the vehicle.
