Method for improving driving stability

A method for increasing driving stability during electronically controlled braking operations in a motor vehicle having rear wheels that can be substantially rigidly coupled, the method comprising:

• detecting that the vehicle is in a ‘μ-split’ driving situation, wherein a ‘μ-split’ driving situation is defined as a situation where different coefficients of friction act on different wheels causing a yaw torque that acts on the vehicle,
• performing pressure modulation on at least one front wheel of the vehicle;
• and
• performing pressure modulation on both wheels of a rear axle of the vehicle;
• wherein the pressure modulation performed on both rear wheels is adopted from the pressure modulation on the at least one front wheel without substantial changes.

Electronic motor vehicle brake system for increasing driving stability during electronically controlled braking operations in a motor vehicle having rear wheels that can be substantially rigidly coupled, the system comprising:

• a device for detecting that the vehicle is in a ‘μ-split’ driving situation, wherein a ‘μ-split’ driving situation is defined as a situation where different coefficients of friction act on different wheels causing a yaw torque that acts on the vehicle;
• and
• an electronic brake control unit for controlling pressure modulation on at least one front wheel of the vehicle and for controlling pressure modulation on both wheels of a rear axle of the vehicle;
• wherein the pressure modulation performed on both rear wheels is adopted from the pressure modulation on the at least one front wheel without substantial changes.
