Abstract: Method of Determining a Vehicle Deceleration or Acceleration A method which permits determining a vehicle deceleration or acceleration from the signals of the wheel sensors. The method includes two different types of calculation which take into consideration that the vehicle is temporarily in a slip control operation during which the single wheel speeds per se are not representative of the vehicle speed. If some of the wheels are not subjected to slip control, these wheels may be taken into account for determining the vehicle deceleration or acceleration. If, however, all the wheels undergo a slip control operation, a maximum amount gradient is respectively determined from the speed variation of non-driven wheels which comes closest to the vehicle deceleration.

Abstract: To determine the transverse acceleration of a vehicle, in particular as an input quantity for an electronic vehicle control system such as ABS, TCS, EBV, etc., the output signals of wheel sensors representative of the rotational behavior of the individual vehicle wheels are evaluated. The correction factors representing the differences of the tire tread circumferences of the individual wheels are determined. A short-time correction factor and a long-time correction factor KZ and LZ are produced in each case for the non-driven vehicle wheels. A difference between the long-time correction factor and the short-time correction factor of the respective wheel is determined and evaluated in a filtering and adapting circuit. The quotient KZ/LZ of the short-time correction factor and the long-time correction factor of the respective wheel is calculated, and the difference is produced between the quotients of the left and right non-driven ##EQU1## wheels. The transverse acceleration of the vehicle Q.sub.

Abstract: The present invention discloses a method of determining correction factors by which the different tire-tread circumferences are ascertained and compensated, wherein a short-time correction factor (KZ.sub.Rn) and a long-time correction factor (LZ.sub.RN) is developed for each wheel, the deviation (D.sub.Rn) of the short-time correction factor from the long-time correction factor is determined and the deviation is weighted by way of a band-pass filter (3), wherein subsequently a long-time average value (LM.sub.Rn) of the weighted deviation (D'Rn) is developed, and a partial value (TW.sub.Rn) of the long-time average value (LM.sub.Rn) is assessed, as a function of the driving condition, for the correction and adaption of the long-time correction factor (LZ.sub.Rn).

Abstract: The present invention describes a process for a vehicle including an electronic control system, which processes input signals representative of the rotational behavior of the individual wheels, and wherein the differences of the tire tread circumferences of the individual wheels are determined by way of short-time and long-time correction factors. The long-time correction factors LZ.sub.n. are determined from the differences D.sub.R1 between the short-time correction factors KZ.sub.R1 and the long-time correction factors LZ.sub.R1 of the respective wheel by averaging LM.sub.r1 the differences during a predetermined time interval and by evaluating and weighting the average value. For the quick identification of an emergency wheel, every time the vehicle engine is started, the long-time factor LZ.sub.R1 is equalled once to the short-time factor KZ.sub.
