Abstract
A computer-implemented method for controlling braking of a vehicle combination having a tractor unit and at least one trailing unit is described. The method includes determining a first braking regime for controlling braking of each unit of the vehicle combination using an optimisation function configured to determine a force control input for the vehicle combination, and determining a second braking regime for controlling braking of each unit of the vehicle combination in which each unit has a respective friction utilisation and the friction utilisations are equal.

A computer-implemented method for controlling braking of a vehicle combination comprising a tractor unit and at least one trailing unit, the method comprising:
- determining a first braking regime for controlling braking of each unit of the vehicle combination using an optimisation function configured to determine a force control input for the vehicle combination;
- and
- determining a second braking regime for controlling braking of each unit of the vehicle combination in which each unit has a respective friction utilisation and the friction utilisations are equal.
