Abstract: A circuit arrangement which is provided for a vehicle with an electronic anti-lock control system and is used to enhance the driving stability in critical driving situations includes circuits for the individual control of the braking pressure on the front wheels and for limiting the yawing torque following braking maneuvers on .mu.-split road surfaces. In defined, especially critical driving situations, in particular during driving maneuvers with an abrupt change in .mu.-conditions or during braking maneuvers on .mu.-patch road surfaces, when predetermined criteria for a critical driving situation of this type are satisfied, a special control is started to bring about braking pressure reduction on the HM-wheel for a predetermined period which is responsive to vehicle speed.

Abstract: In a cornering identification method which, in particular, is provided for automotive vehicles with anti-lock control or traction slip control, the rotating velocities of the two wheels of the one (non-driven) axle are measured and a correction value is continuously determined for the difference in the rolling circumferences of the tires of the two wheels. A reference value (THR) is developed which is representative of a straight-line course and, in accordance with a predetermined time pattern, this reference value is continuously corrected in dependence on the velocity difference of the two wheels. For cornering identification, a velocity difference value (DIF) is compared with the reference value (THR). At the beginning, i.e., after the start of cornering identification, the reference value (THR) will be corrected in relatively short periods which will be prolonged as the ride goes on. The rate of change (.DELTA. THR) of the reference value (THR) is likewise high at the beginning, decreasing thereafter.

Abstract: A circuit configuration for a brake system comprising an anti-locking control is furnished with circuits which: (1) at a low friction coefficient on either vehicle side, individually control the brake pressure on the rear wheel brakes upon commencement of a control process, (2) after the first entrance of a rear wheel into a stable phase switch to "select-low", and (3) in the select-low control phased if during a predetermined period of time no instability occurs on the non-selected rear wheel, increase the brake pressure on the non-selected wheel in the next pressure build-up phase by a fixed or variable amount. According to a first embodiment, the brake pressure is delivered prematurely into a wheel brake of the rear wheel if the wheel speed falls below a slip threshold if, at the same time, the factual reacceleration is above a threshold value and if another value derived from the maximum value of the filtered wheel acceleration is exceeded.

Abstract: A circuit configuration for improving the driving behavior of an automotive vehicle tending to oversteering, which vehicle is equipped with an anti-lock control system, causes the slip and deceleration thresholds, decisive for the onset of control at the front wheel on the outside of the bend, to be raised upon the occurrence of a cornering identification signal.

Abstract: A circuit configuration for an anti-lock brake system, which receives input from wheel sensors positioned on the driven wheels, comprises a monitoring circuit (7) which triggers a test cycle (duration T.sub.Test) when the two wheels of a driven axle signal instability for more than a predefined time span (T) during a control cycle. By way of the test cycle, braking pressure is introduced into the wheel brake of the instantaneously slower wheel (v.sub.1, v.sub.min -wheel) of the driven axle and the reaction of the driven wheels to the braking pressure delivered is assessed.
