Abstract
A braking device for controlling the torque transmitted to driving wheels via a differential gear, in which the speed and acceleration of each wheel is detected and the appropriate wheel is braked if its speed and/or acceleration exceeds respective predetermined thresholds if the speed and acceleration of the other wheel does not exceed these thresholds; the speed difference is detected between the two wheels for the purpose of controlling, with the speed and acceleration signals, a logic control circuit, preferably a ROM, which determines when the brakes of each wheel are to be applied and released.
