Abstract

A method and a device for the computer-assisted calculation of the axle load of a vehicle, in particular a commercial vehicle, in which the axle loads are calculated on the basis of a function f(λ), which describes the dependence of the ratio of the longitudinal force Fx to the vertical force Fz in a wheel on the longitudinal slip λ.
