A method for controlling the traction slip of a vehicle on a roadway with sidewise different coefficients of friction includes the following steps: identifying a driving situation on a roadway with sidewise different coefficients of friction and, when the driving situation is identified and traction slip is encountered on both wheels, decreasing the brake pressure of the driven wheel on the low coefficient-of-friction side. A device for controlling the traction slip of a vehicle on a roadway with sidewise different coefficients of friction includes a determining device for determining a driving situation on a roadway with sidewise different coefficients of friction, and a brake actuation control which decreases the brake pressure of the driven wheel on the low coefficient-of-friction side when the driving situation is identified and traction slip is encountered on both wheels.

System for controlling the traction slip of a vehicle

The present invention discloses a method for brake pressure adjustment of a wheel brake comprising the following steps: determining a preliminary nominal pressure gradient in a brake control, determining actuating signals for a hydraulic pump and/or at least one hydraulic valve for the adjustment of the nominal pressure gradient, determining the actual pressure by way of a pressure model, determining the slip of a driven wheel, comparing the actual pressure with a first threshold value that is lower than the maximum possible brake pressure, and comparing the wheel slip, if the wheel slip is a traction slip, with a second threshold value, wherein, if the actual pressure and the wheel slip exceed the respective threshold values, the preliminary nominal pressure gradient is raised. The present invention also relates to a corresponding device.

Method and device for brake pressure adjustment

A circuit configuration for an anti-lock brake system, which receives input from wheel sensors positioned on the driven wheels, comprises a monitoring circuit (7) which triggers a test cycle (duration T.sub.Test) when the two wheels of a driven axle signal instability for more than a predefined time span (T) during a control cycle. By way of the test cycle, braking pressure is introduced into the wheel brake of the instantaneously slower wheel (v.sub.1, v.sub.min -wheel) of the driven axle and the reaction of the driven wheels to the braking pressure delivered is assessed.
