Abstract
A control system for controlling a vehicle includes a wheel speed indicator for each of at least two wheels of the vehicle, a vehicle speed indicator, and a processor programmed to include a validation unit. The validation unit performs a first test of a road grip condition of each wheel based on slip information of the vehicle. The vehicle speed indicator produces an instantaneous vehicle speed estimation based on at least one circumferential wheel speed indication ascertained by the validation unit of the processor.
