Abstract

A brake-pressure controller regulates the brake pressure on the individual wheels according to the instantaneous slip values in comparison with variable desired slip values. The angle of inclination of one wheel of each axle is determined, and the desired slip values are varied as a function of these angles of inclination with the effect of a better vehicle controllability.
