Abstract:
A control system for wheel-specific braking torque control, comprising:an electronically controlled transmission; an electric control unit operatively coupled with the electronically controlled transmission; wherein said control unit monitors wheel speeds of the vehicle in order to recognize wheel slippage and monitors at least one vehicle dynamic operating parameter of the vehicle indicating a yawing of the vehicle; and further wherein when slippage is detected on at least one wheel of an axle and when the parameter indicates yawing of the vehicle is occurring, said control unit initiates an up-shifting process via the electronically controlled transmission to reduce engine torque by a certain torque amount, said control unit simultaneously initiating a braking intervention on both wheels of the other axle of the vehicle in order to increase braking torque by the same torque amount.
