Abstract
A tire () rolls on a surface (). A method () for providing maximum traction coefficient between the tire () and the surface () include steps for detecting a momentary slip of the tire () on the surface (); detecting a momentary traction coefficient; forming a tuple () from the slip and the current traction coefficient; choosing a characteristic curve () from a number of predetermined characteristic curves () on the basis of the tuple (), whereby each characteristic curve () describes a traction behavior of the tire () or a corresponding characteristic pitch; determining the maximum traction coefficient on the basis of the selected characteristic curves (); and thus providing the maximum traction coefficient.
