Abstract

The present invention relates to a method of detecting straight-ahead driving according to a first straight-ahead driving detection method based on information on the rotational speed of a wheel by way of memorizing a curve parameter in a learning phase, in particular in selected driving situations, and the curve parameter is formed from the wheel speed information of one or more axles, and the reciprocal value of the curve radius is calculated from the wheel speed information to determine the curve parameter. The invention also relates to a computer program product comprising an algorithm defined by the above method.
