Method for braking a vehicle for carrying passengers, control unit, and vehicle for carrying passengers

A method for braking a vehicle for carrying passengers, comprising:

• checking whether a trigger criterion for braking the vehicle for carrying passengers is present;
• and
• if the trigger criterion is satisfied, causing a conditioning braking pulse through brief pulsed braking of the vehicle such that the passengers in the vehicle experience brief braking of the vehicle, and immediately thereafter—initiating a braking phase,
• wherein, in the braking phase, the vehicle is braked using a braking system in at least two partial braking regions by an actual ego deceleration that varies with respect to time, wherein each partial braking region is extended over a partial braking interval,
• wherein the partial braking regions merge into one another without the actual ego deceleration changing abruptly, and the actual ego deceleration in at least one of the partial braking regions is changed continuously over the respective partial braking interval such that a different actual jerk is obtained in each partial braking region, and
• wherein the actual jerk behaves degressively over at least some partial braking regions of the braking phase.
