Abstract:
Method of governing or controlling a distribution of brake force to front and rear wheels of an automotive vehicle, wherein a brake force or the braking pressure in the rear wheels is governed or controlled depending on a wheel rotational behavior, the method comprising the steps of:a) detecting a commencement of a braking operation or a brake actuation process,b) introducing a delay period,c) maintaining the brake force or the braking pressure on the rear wheels constant at a first level,d) deriving a reference quantity by measuring, filtering and extrapolating values derived from a rotational behavior of the rear wheels,d) comparing a current rotational behavior of a rear wheel with the reference quantity, ande) evaluating the comparison of the current rotational behavior of the rear wheel with the reference quantity to control one of the brake force distribution and anti-lock control of the rear wheels.
