Abstract:
A process for influencing, by a common braking value, the braking forces applied to wheels on opposite sides of an axle of a vehicle traveling on a road surface with different frictional values on the opposite sides of said vehicle, said process comprising the following steps:a) measuring the rotational velocities of two wheels located on the opposite sides of the vehicle, as rotational velocity signals,b) evaluating the changes over time of said rotational velocity signals to determine whether a locking tendency is present on said wheels during braking of the vehicle,c) wherein when a locking tendency is ascertained on at least one of said wheels, said common braking value is influenced in such manner under a first regulating principle, that the wheel located on said road surface with the lower frictional value is locked at least intermittently, whereind) under said first regulating principle, the braking forces are briefly reduced by influencing said common braking value during a predetermined time interval, to such an extent that said wheel located on said road surface with the lower frictional value is able to start up again from the locked state if said lower frictional value has increased.
