Process for increasing the controllability of a vehicle
First Claim
1. Method of stabilizing a vehicle having a front axle with two wheels, a rear axle with two wheels, and means for controlling brake pressure at each wheel, each wheel exhibiting an instantaneous brake slip and an angle of inclination, said method comprisingdetermining the instantaneous brake slip for each wheel,comparing the instantaneous slip at each wheel to a desired slip value,determining the angle of inclination for at least one wheel of each axle,varying the desired slip value for each wheel in dependence upon the angles of inclination, andcontrolling the brake pressure at each wheel so that the instantaneous brake slip for each wheel conforms to the desired slip value for the respective wheel.

Abstract
A brake-pressure controller regulates the brake pressure on the individual wheels according to the instantaneous slip values in comparison with variable desired slip values. The angle of inclination of one wheel of each axle is determined, and the desired slip values are varied as a function of these angles of inclination with the effect of a better vehicle controllability.
