Patent ID: 8170763

Claim:
A method for controlling at least one of a drive system and a wheel braking system of a motor vehicle, in which a total brake power (Ptotal_wheel_setpoint) to be exerted on wheels of the motor vehicle is composed of at least a drive braking power (Pdrive_wheel_setpoint) and a wheel braking power (Pbrake_wheel_setpoint), the method comprising the acts of: starting from a steady state operating mode, determining if a gradient of a required total braking power (Ptotal_wheel_setpoint) exceeds a defined threshold (S); and freezing one of an instantaneous actual drive braking power (Pdrive_wheel_actual) and an instantaneously specified drive braking power (Pdrive_wheel_setpoint) in response to determining that the gradient of the required total braking power exceeds the defined threshold, wherein freezing is performed by maintaining the one of the instantaneous actual drive braking power (Pdrive_wheel_actual) and the instantaneously specified drive braking power (Pdrive_wheel_setpoint) constant at a value held when the gradient exceeds the defined threshold.
