  • Patent number: 6687594
    Abstract: The invention relates to a traction slip control method for an automotive vehicle wherein a traction slip control phase for a respective drive wheel is activated by way of a control strategy when the traction slip of said wheel exceeds a predeterminable slip threshold value This method includes a reference transverse acceleration that is recorded for a cornering maneuver to be expected, then an actual transverse acceleration is determined, a difference between the reference transverse acceleration (ay-ref) and the actual transverse acceleration (ay-ist) is calculated, and it is determined whether the amount of the difference exceeds a limit value, and wherein in the case when the amount of the difference exceeds the limit value, the control strategy is modified so that a higher torque can be achieved at least on two wheels than in the case that the amount of the difference does not exceed the limit value. Further, the invention provides a control circuit that implements the above method.
