Method for braking a traction vehicle-trailer combination with reduced trailer braking force as a function of the response of the ABS of the traction vehicle

A brake device of a traction vehicle-trailer combination, in which a brake system for the traction vehicle includes a traction controller, and a brake system for the trailer does not have a traction controller or has a traction controller for axles which are present, but with a brake-slip-determining arrangement on fewer axles than a number of axles which are present, comprising:

• a control and evaluation device for detecting during a braking process whether there is a risk of the trailer swinging out with respect to the traction vehicle, or whether such swinging out is imminent or occurring, wherein the brake system of the traction vehicle includes the control and evaluation device, and wherein the brake system of the trailer is controlled by the brake system of the traction vehicle;
• wherein the control and evaluation device is configured so that it reduces the braking force or the braking of the trailer if it has been determined during the braking process that there is a risk of the trailer swinging out, or such swinging out is imminent or occurring, and
• wherein the control and evaluation device interacts with the traction controller of the brake system of the traction vehicle so that it detects a risk of the trailer swinging out, or imminent or occurring swinging out of the trailer, with respect to the traction vehicle, by means of a response of the traction controller of the brake system of the traction vehicle.
