System for maintaining a vehicle equipped with ABS in driving direction during lateral skidding
First Claim
1. System for maintaining direction of movement of the center of gravity of a vehicle equipped with front wheels and rear wheels and an antilock brake system which varies brake pressure at the wheels in dependency upon movement behavior of the wheels, said movement behavior including at least one of wheel speed, wheel deceleration, wheel acceleration, and slippage, said system comprisingmeans for detecting lateral skidding of the vehicle, andmeans for shutting down the antilock braking system acting on the front wheels and automatically subjecting the front wheels to braking which is sufficiently forceful to cause slippage of the front wheel when lateral skidding of the vehicle has been detected.

Abstract
System for preventing skidding when the dynamic limits of driving are surpassed, e.g., when the vehicle skids laterally during excessive curve speed, by subjecting forceful braking at least to the front wheels, even to the point of locking. Several systems for detecting skidding which would effect such braking are possible.
