Determination of a Possible Deceleration Variable

A method and device for determining a possible deceleration variable of a brake system of a vehicle, wherein the brake system has at least one brake, includes providing a possible control variable value that corresponds to an actual control variable value that can be set by the brake system, wherein the at least one brake is designed to generate a deceleration variable in response to a control variable of said actual control variable value; providing a brake system model that is designed to determine a deceleration variable of the at least one brake from an input control variable value; inputting the possible control variable value into the brake system model; and determining a possible deceleration variable of the at least one brake that corresponds to the possible control variable value by way of the brake system model.
