Abstract
A method is described for monitoring wheel speeds, having the following steps: determining the wheel speeds, determining the wheel having the maximum wheel speed, determining the wheel having the minimum wheel speed, determining the differential speed between the maximum wheel speed and the minimum wheel speed, and comparing the differential speed to a threshold value, if the differential speed is greater than a threshold value, the wheel having the maximum wheel speed being registered as the fastest wheel and the wheel having the minimum wheel speed being registered as the slowest wheel, in event of a change of the wheel speeds, so that another with wheel is the fastest wheel and/or another wheel is the slowest wheel, the fastest wheel being registered and the slowest wheel being registered and a logical status being established from the registered values and the instantaneous values. A device for monitoring wheel speeds in accordance with the above method is also described.
