Abstract: Using a model calculation, desired changes in the yaw rate .DELTA..phi. and the transverse acceleration .DELTA.y are determined from a small change actually made in the steering angle and are compared to measured quantities .DELTA..phi..sub.F and .DELTA.y.sub.F determined on the vehicle. The deviations of the actual values of yaw rate and transverse acceleration from the calculated values are weighted using predetermined weighting factors for the relative importance of yaw rate and transverse acceleration and supplied with factors dependent on the individual wheel; finally, the values relating to the same wheel are added. They represent desired changes in the brake slip values and a controller finally converts these into brake slip value changes.

Abstract: A method for improving the controllability of motor vehicles during braking wherein desired slip values are determined and adjusted with the aid of a wheel slip controller. According to the method, the following are measured: the yaw rate .psi., the steering angle .delta., the wheel speeds V.sub.Ri, the inlet pressure P.sub.inlet or wheel brake pressure P.sub.i, and, if required, the engine speed and the throttle valve angle. The following variables are estimated using the measured values: the longitudinal vehicle speed V.sub.X, the longitudinal vehicle acceleration V.sub.X, the wheel slip values .lambda..sub.i, the braking forces F.sub.Bi, the tire forces F.sub.Ri, and the transverse speed V.sub.Y.

Abstract: A method for controlling vehicle stability comprises the steps of determining the rate of yaw and comparing it to a setpoint rate of yaw. The deviation is used to adjust a counter rate of yaw by means of a controller when the rate of yaw is too large. An optimal profile for a setpoint rate of yaw is determined, even when parameters such as the coefficient of friction of the road surface and the vehicle speed vary.

Abstract: In a vehicular control system in which target braking torques are set for each of the driven wheels, the smaller target braking torque for the driven wheels is determined. Based on this smaller target braking torque, a target engine torque is calculated, and the engine torque is varied to conform to the target engine torque. Residual braking torques are calculated as differences from the target braking torques for each driven wheel and the target engine torque. These residual braking torques are realized by varying the brake pressure. Therefore the target braking torque is split into an engine torque which is equal for both driven wheels and into a braking torque which may be different for each driven wheel.
