Abstract
To improve the control behavior of a brake system with anti-lock control (ABS) on the occurrence of road irregularities, a brief braking pressure reduction phase with a major braking pressure reduction on a wheel, followed by a high re-acceleration of the wheel, is interpreted as a road irregularity if the quotient of the duration of the braking pressure reduction and of the total duration of the pressure reduction phase multiplied by the re-acceleration of the wheel or the maximum value of the re-acceleration or if the acceleration variation or the maximum value of the acceleration variation exceeds predetermined limit values, and a braking pressure rise that is increased compared to the standard ABS control is caused as a result of detection of the road irregularity.
