Abstract
A method and a device for controlling slippage of a vehicle wheel are proposed. A traction controller, which intervenes in a drive torque of a drive unit of the vehicle in response to incipient slippage at at least one driven wheel, is provided. Moreover, it is ascertained whether the vehicle is located in an exit area of a curve. If this is the case, the traction controller is influenced so that improved traction of the vehicle results as compared to cornering designed for stability. Furthermore, at least one quantity determining the intervention is modified in response to cornering or straight-ahead driving.
