Abstract

A deceleration of a vehicle is determined based on one or more wheel speeds of the vehicle. A brake pressure of the vehicle is determined. A model of a relationship of the deceleration and the brake pressure is produced. At least one of a vehicle load and a vehicle weight is determined by using the model. The brake pressure is adapted to at least one of the determined vehicle load and the vehicle weight.
