Abstract
An automatic control logic for an anti-lock protected vehicle braking plants is provided for all-terrain operation. In this case, the standard automatic control logic for road operation is switched, by the driver with an all-terrain switch (13) to a special automatic control logic for all-terrain operation. The special automatic control logic generates time periods, during which a short-term blocking of the automatically controlled wheels (12) is intentionally permitted. The locking time periods have a time duration of about 240 ms. The braking distance of the vehicle in cross-country terrain is shortened while a sufficient cornering force remains based on the all-terrain automatic control logic.
