In one instances, the method for controlling the vehicle brake includes: detecting a stop of a vehicle; determining whether a brake pressure applied to at least one wheel, whose brake pressure has been detected, through an operation by a driver is at least equal to an actuation pressure; activating a departure aid system when it is determined that the brake pressure is at least equal to the actuation pressure; determining whether brake pressure of a rear wheel, which is applied through the operation by the driver, is at least equal to a specified pressure that is required to stop the vehicle; and actuating the departure aid system to automatically retain the brake pressure in a state.

An electronically controllable braking system for a vehicle is provided. The electronically controllable braking system includes a service brake sub-system and a redundancy brake sub-system. The service brake sub-system includes a front axle service brake circuit with front axle service brakes and a rear axle service brake circuit with rear axle service brakes. The redundancy brake sub-system includes a front axle redundancy brake circuit and a rear axle redundancy brake circuit. A service brake control module is configured to generate a service brake control signal in dependence upon a braking specification for generating a front axle service brake pressure. A redundancy brake control module is configured to generate a redundancy brake control signal in dependence upon a braking specification for generating a front axle redundancy brake pressure.

The invention relates to a towing vehicle (100) for maneuvering aeroplanes without using tow bars, comprising a braking device (130) having a first fluidically actuable braking circuit (148) which acts on the front wheels (106) and a second fluidically actuable braking circuit (150) which acts on the rear wheels (110).
