Abstract

A method for preventing the driven wheels of an automotive vehicle from spinning provides that whenever one of two driven wheels of one axle of the vehicle has a lower friction coefficient with the road surface than the other wheel of said axle and the one wheel shows a spinning tendency, brake pressure is built up at said wheel, with the rotational speed of the other wheel being measured, and whenever the rotational speed exceeds a specified value with respect to a vehicle reference speed, the brake pressure at the one wheel is reduced or maintained constant.
