Abstract
This method for controlling the behaviour of an automotive vehicle during cornering consisting in measuring the rotational wheel speed of the front and rear wheels of the vehicle, establishing the wheel speed difference between the front and rear wheels and modifying the brake pressure applied to the rear wheel brakes of the vehicle according to a vehicle behaviour to be obtained, comprises the steps of elaborating a function of the absolute value of the wheel speed difference between the inner front wheel and the outer rear wheel, considering the cornering direction and using said function to determine the brake pressure variations to be applied to the rear wheel brakes.
