Abstract: A method and an apparatus are provided for determining a variable describing the speed of a vehicle. The variable describing the speed of the vehicle is determined as a function of the speed of a selected wheel. For this purpose, on the basis of the wheel speeds at least a first and a second plausibility query are performed, the results of which are taken into consideration in the selection of the wheel. On the basis of the first plausibility query it is ascertained whether the variable describing the speed of the vehicle can be determined as a function of a wheel whose wheel speed is greater than the variable describing the speed of the vehicle. On the basis of the second plausibility query it is ascertained whether the variable describing the speed of the vehicle can be determined as a function of a wheel whose wheel speed is less than the variable describing the speed of the vehicle.

Furthermore, the device and the process contain a fourth arrangement with which a slight activation of the actuators assigned to the wheel, with variable duration, can be performed if the requirement of a foreseeable driver-independent brake intervention is met, this activation occurring before this driver-independent brake intervention. The duration of the slight activation of the actuators is determined at least as a function of the variables which describe the wheel dynamics of the wheel in question.

Abstract: The system serves to control the brakes of at least two wheels of a vehicle, preferably mounted on the same axle. Means are provided for controlling the brake pressure at the so-called low wheel to prevent it from locking after it has been recognized that this wheel is showing a tendency to lock.

A corresponding threshold value is also derived for this variable. A comparison means is provided to compare the determined variable with the determined threshold value, and a comparison result is generated. Control means for controlling the brake system of the high wheel are provided, which, after it has been recognized that the low wheel is showing a tendency to lock, change the course of the brake pressure at the high wheel as a function of the determined comparison result.

Abstract: A vehicle hydraulic brake system having brake pressure modulation valve assemblies, between a dual-circuit master cylinder and wheel brakes of vehicle wheels. The pump device is embodied as a low-pressure pump with the brake pressure modulation valve assemblies be assigned a first and second return pump and that in the automatic braking mode the first pressure chamber is made to communicate with a first return pump and the second pressure chamber is made to communicate with the second return pump, on the inlet side in both cases. The low-pressure pump, in the automatic braking mode, generates charge pressure for the return pumps that is substantially below a maximum brake pressure, and the return pumps generate the maximum projected brake pressure and serve, in the additionally possible anti-lock mode, to return pressure fluid from the wheel brakes to the master cylinder.
