An external control process is disclosed for a braking system, as well as a braking system suitable for applying this process. The invention should enable the braking system to be automatically brought to an appropriate actuation state by means of an appropriate sensor system, largely preventing endangering the driver or accidentally actuating the brakes. For that purpose, not only the surroundings of the brake pedal, but also additional parameters (d, d, vref) are monitored by a sensor device (6, 10, 11). The braking pressure (pnom) is automatically regulated in an appropriate manner depending on the individual evaluated parameters. Advantageous embodiments concern a preliminary actuation of the brakes, a slight actuation of the brakes or the automatic application of a higher braking pressure, depending on the measurement results, and to the extent to which this is made possible by road conditions and the possibility to recognise the driver's wishes.
