Abstract

A control system, for use in a vehicle, that influences at least one quantity representing tire slip, and which includes a control unit for controlling at least the drive unit of the vehicle. A traction controller for influencing the engine torque may be implemented in the control unit, and may be used to generate a value for a regulated quantity (or manipulated variable) for the torque of the drive unit based on at least a characteristic map that depends on the slippage and on the slip gradient.
