A method for controlling braking of a vehicle driving along a downhill portion of a road, the vehicle comprising a propulsion arrangement (2, 3), for the propulsion of the vehicle, the method comprising: dividing the road portion into a plurality of sections (RS0-RS2), the sections comprising a first section, and a second section following, in the direction of travel of the vehicle, immediately upon the first section, characterized by determining, for the road portion, a road portion control strategy, with a condition that braking on the road portion is done at least partly by means of the propulsion arrangement (2, 3), wherein determining the road portion control strategy comprises: determining a speed, on the second section, to minimize the time travelled on the second section, and/or, where the propulsion arrangement comprises an internal combustion engine, and a gearbox, determining a gear selection on the second section, to minimize the time travelled on the second section, and determining the road portion control strategy comprises determining, for the first section, a first section control strategy, to minimize the time travelled on the first section, and to provide a vehicle speed at the end of the first section which is the same as said determined speed on the second section, and/or to provide a gear selection at the end of the first section which is the same as said determined gear selection on the second section, wherein the control strategy on the first section, and/or said speed on the second section, is determined at least partly based on data indicative of the maximum available braking force, as a function of the vehicle speed and the method further comprising controlling the vehicle according to the determined road portion control strategy. dividing the road portion into a plurality of sections (RS0-RS2), the sections comprising a first section, and a second section following, in the direction of travel of the vehicle, immediately upon the first section, characterized by determining, for the road portion, a road portion control strategy, with a condition that braking on the road portion is done at least partly by means of the propulsion arrangement (2, 3), wherein determining the road portion control strategy comprises: determining a speed, on the second section, to minimize the time travelled on the second section, and/or, where the propulsion arrangement comprises an internal combustion engine, and a gearbox, determining a gear selection on the second section, to minimize the time travelled on the second section, and determining the road portion control strategy comprises determining, for the first section, a first section control strategy, to minimize the time travelled on the first section, and to provide a vehicle speed at the end of the first section which is the same as said determined speed on the second section, and/or to provide a gear selection at the end of the first section which is the same as said determined gear selection on the second section, determining a speed, on the second section, to minimize the time travelled on the second section, and/or, where the propulsion arrangement comprises an internal combustion engine, and a gearbox, determining a gear selection on the second section, to minimize the time travelled on the second section, and determining the road portion control strategy comprises determining, for the first section, a first section control strategy, to minimize the time travelled on the first section, and to provide a vehicle speed at the end of the first section which is the same as said determined speed on the second section, and/or to provide a gear selection at the end of the first section which is the same as said determined gear selection on the second section,
