Abstract:
1. A method for control of braking of a motor vehicle by means of a control unit included in the motor vehicle configured to control at least one supplementary brake of the motor vehicle, comprising the steps of: a control device choosing a supplementary braking action from more than one braking action; continuously determining, by the control unit, a total available supplementary brake torque (Mtot) of said at least one supplementary brake; the control unit determining by means of said control device a chosen proportion (Mshare) of said total available supplementary brake torque (Mtot); determining, by the control unit, a supplementary brake torque (Mtot*) corresponding to said chosen proportion (Mshare); and the control unit using a prevailing vehicle speed as a basis for apportioning said supplementary brake torque (Mtot*) to at least one chosen supplementary brake in order to achieve the chosen supplementary braking action.
