Abstract
A method for controlling an anti-lock braking system, intended for motor vehicles having all-wheel drive, electric signals representative of the rotational behavior of the vehicle wheels are produced and logically combined. When a locking tendency occurs, the braking pressure is controlled, and the instantaneous wheel slip, the wheel acceleration, and the wheel deceleration are evaluated as control criteria, and wherein the individual wheel speed is compared to a vehicle reference speed which is used as a reference quantity for controlling the braking pressure. In the event of a wheel rotational behavior that is typical of a spinning tendency and is revealed by a rise of the vehicle reference speed in excess of the actual vehicle speed, the control concept is modified up to a defined point of time in that the instantaneous wheel slip is left out of account as a control criterion for this spinning phase and the braking pressure control becomes dependent on merely the wheel acceleration or the wheel deceleration.
