Abstract
Disclosed is a method for identifying a critical braking operation of a two-track vehicle during cornering, which features the steps of detecting the running behaviour of a left-hand side wheel and of a right-hand side wheel, of comparing the running behaviour and/or of evaluating the time variation of at least one left-hand side wheel or right-hand side wheel, and of identifying a critical braking operation on the basis of the result of the comparison and/or of the result of the evaluation. As a reaction, there may ensue the reduction of the braking pressure of a wheel on the inside of the corner in response to identification. A device for identifying a critical braking operation of a two-track vehicle during cornering includes a detecting device ( ) for detecting the running behaviour of a left-hand side wheel and of a right-hand side wheel ( ), a first comparing device ( ) for comparing the running behaviour and/or an evaluating device ( ) for evaluating the time variation of at least one left-hand side wheel or one right-hand side wheel, and an identifying device ( ) for identifying a critical braking operation on the basis of the output of the comparing device and/or of the output of the evaluating device. Moreover, a modifying device ( ) can be provided for reducing the braking pressure of a wheel on the inside of the corner in response to identification.
