Abstract:
A method of improving the control behavior of an anti-lock control system for a four-wheeled vehicle during cornering, wherein the rotational behavior of the vehicle wheels is measured and evaluated to determine a vehicle reference speed which is used as a reference value for ascertaining a wheel slip as well as for braking pressure modulation, and wherein criteria for cornering identification and for identification of the direction of cornering are derived from the wheel slip of the individual wheels, wherein, when cornering is identified, a normal control mode--which is intended for straight travel and is configured for an individual control of multiple wheels--is changed to a cornering control mode, wherein in comparison to the normal control mode, an average braking pressure level of the curve-inward front wheel is decreased by a predetermined value and an average braking pressure level of the curve-outward front wheel is increased by a predetermined value wherein, in a vehicle with a select-low control on the rear wheels, the average pressure level is decreased on the curve-inward rear wheel and increased on the curve-outward rear wheel in the cornering control mode.
