Abstract
A method for estimating achievable total braking force for an automated deceleration of a vehicle or vehicle combination includes performing, for each respective one of a plurality of brake units, at least partially applying, in an estimation braking operation by the respective brake unit, an estimation braking force configured to cause deceleration and determining, from measured values, a current deceleration caused by the estimation braking force. The method further includes, for each respective brake unit, determining, a respective braking characteristic value of the respective brake unit, the braking characteristic value representing a ratio between a partial braking force of the respective brake unit and a manipulated variable which is set for the partial braking force of the respective brake unit, and determining a respective achievable partial braking force. The method further includes estimating, as a sum of the respective achievable partial braking forces, the achievable total braking force.
