A method for operating a driver assistance device for a motor vehicle. A drive potential is respectively determined from all driven wheels of at least one axis of the motor vehicle. The drive potentials are compared and a braking device with a specific wheel braking force is controlled for braking the wheel having a lower drive potential.

Method for operating a driver assistance device for a motor vehicle and corresponding driver assistance device

A method for detecting and correcting vehicle reference speed, in particular when the speed undergoes a controlled reduction due to drag or regeneration torque, of an all-wheel drive vehicle. The longitudinal acceleration of the motor vehicle, and the wheel accelerations are determined by sensors. The method is to provide reliable determination of the vehicle reference speed and the initiation of corrective measures once a controlled reduction has been recognized. The steps include filtering the wheel accelerations, filtering the longitudinal accelerations, forming a corrected longitudinal acceleration by applying a safety offset and a correction offset to the filtered longitudinal acceleration, and temporal integration of the difference between the corrected longitudinal acceleration and the respective wheel acceleration. In the event a threshold value of the absolute value of the difference is exceeded during a predetermined time interval with a preset number of wheels, step for adjusting the correction offset are initiated.
