  • Patent number: 6012010
    Abstract: To improve the control behavior of an anti-lock control system or brake slip control system, more particularly, to improve the steerability of a vehicle and its drivability when braking during cornering is performed, criteria for cornering identification and for determining the direction of cornering are derived from the wheel slip of the individual wheels. When cornering is identified, the normal control mode which is intended for straight travel and is configured for an individual control of all wheels or an individual control of the front wheels in conjunction with a select-low control of the rear wheels is changed to a cornering control mode. In the cornering control mode, the average pressure level of the curve-inward front wheel is decreased by a predetermined value and the average pressure level of the curve-outward front wheel is increased by a predetermined value.

  • Patent number: 5887957
    Abstract: A circuit arrangement for a brake system with electronic brake force distribution control includes circuits which determine the deceleration of the rear wheels and the deceleration of a vehicle or a corresponding reference quantity. The discrepancy of the filtered rear-wheel deceleration from the vehicle deceleration is evaluated for brake force distribution control. To this end, an output signal is produced by way of a differentiator and integrator comparing the rear-wheel deceleration and the vehicle deceleration, and the output signal is evaluated for the control of the braking pressure in the rear-wheel brakes.
