The disclosure is directed to a method for controlling the deceleration of a vehicle, wherein the vehicle includes a central control unit, a first brake circuit for a rear axle and a second brake circuit for a front axle. In the method, in the event of an electronically requested deceleration request below a predefined deceleration threshold value, only the brake circuit for the axle, from the rear axle and the front axle, that allows the finest gradation in the pressure change for substantially continuous, jolt-free manipulation of the deceleration is activated by the central control unit and remains activated as long as the predefined deceleration threshold value is not exceeded by the deceleration request. The disclosure is also directed to a braking system and to a vehicle.

A method for dimensioning a component of a braking system; the braking system having at least two brake-circuit partial circuits; each brake-circuit partial circuit having at least one pump element for building up a brake-circuit pressure and/or for returning brake-circuit fluid in an ABS case, the pump elements of the at least two brake-circuit partial circuits being operable using a motor element; and the at least two brake-circuit partial circuits being separable using a separating element, so that different brake-circuit pressures may be created in the at least two brake-circuit partial circuits.

A brake fluid pressure control unit for a vehicle comprises: a hydraulic block that includes a housing containing an internal channel for a first system and an internal channel for a second system, which individually allow communication with a wheel cylinder for a first wheel and a wheel cylinder for a second wheel respectively, and also containing a detected hydraulic pressure inlet hole leading to a pressure receiving part of a pressure sensor. A first hole included in the internal channel for the first system and a second hole included in the internal channel for the second system can selectively be connected to the detected hydraulic pressure inlet hole by machining such that the depth of either the first hole or the second hole is made greater than the other.
