Abstract

A method for the distribution of drive torque to the wheels of a driven axle of a motor vehicle. The bend slip between a bend-inside and a bend-outside wheel of an axle of the motor vehicle during cornering is calculated. The inner drive slip between the bend-inside driven wheel and the bend-inside nondriven wheel is calculated. The drive torque is distributed as a function of a difference between the inner drive slip and the bend slip, multiplied by a scaling factor.
