Abstract:
Method of determining values describing the driving behavior of a four-wheel vehicle, wherein a calculating device is furnished at least with signals of wheel sensors representative of the speeds of the individual wheels, comprising the step of:A. determining a vehicle wheel from the left side of the vehicle which has a slip value which does not exceed a threshold value and selecting the wheel speed from that left side determined wheel;B. determining a vehicle wheel from the right side of the vehicle which has a slip value which does not exceed a threshold value and selecting the wheel speed from that right side determined wheel, calculating at least one of a transverse acceleration and a yaw velocity using said left and right side determined wheel velocity, further including the step of in the case that no two wheels satisfy the selection criteria, extrapolating the missing wheel speed or speeds by way of previously measured wheel speeds.
