Abstract

A method controls lateral pulling of a moving motor vehicle during braking. The method includes a) calculating a value representative of a difference between angular accelerations of left and right wheels of a wheelset of the motor vehicle, b) calculating a correction value as a function of at least the value representative of the difference between the angular accelerations; and c) controlling for the left wheel and the right wheel an associated brake so as to modify a drag force applied by the associated brake as a function of the correction value calculated in step b), such that the drag force applied to a first wheel of the left and right wheels is increased, and the drag force applied to a second wheel different from the first wheel is reduced, to reduce the value representative of the difference between the angular accelerations of the left and right wheels.
