Abstract
A method of an accurate detection of a spinning vehicle wheel. Observed wheel speeds are derived by measuring the speed of each wheel and the slowest speed is set as the slowest observed wheel speed. A maximum probable wheel speed is derived by multiplying the slowest observed wheel speed by the ratio of the maximum wheel speed to the slowest wheel speed for a given minimum turning radius. The maximum probable wheel speed is compared with an observed wheel speed and if the observed wheel speed is greater, the wheel is deemed to be spinning.
