Abstract

A method and a circuit configuration to augment the driving stability of a road vehicle using traction slip control by brake management. The drive wheel is identified which instantaneously exhibits the higher coefficient of friction (HM-wheel). The rotational pattern of this wheel is monitored and stabilized by brake management as soon as the traction slip of this wheel exceeds a limit value. Braking pressure which may exist in the wheel brake of the second drive wheel (LM-wheel) is decreased.
