An installation for the propulsion regulation in motor vehicles acting on the output torque of the driving aggregate for preventing the undesired slippage of the driven vehicle wheels, whereby in case of determining the slippage tendency of a driven wheel, the magnitude determining the output torque is stored and subsequently reduced to its minimum value, is increased after the termination of the acceleration phase of this wheel to a value coordinated to the maximum value of the wheel acceleration which had occurred, is kept constant at this value, and in case of a determination of the ending of the slippage tendency, is increased by a further value coordinated to the maximum value of the wheel deceleration that had occurred whereby the delayed reaction of the drive aggregate is counteracted and a more rapid regulation with slight excess torque and fewer regulating cycles is attained.
An installation for the propulsion regulation in motor vehicles in the sense of a prevention of the undesired slippage of driven vehicle wheels, comprising regulating circuit means responding to the movement condition of at least one driven wheel which is operable to effect a reduction of the output torque of a driving aggregate in case of a slippage tendency, measuring means detecting the vehicle velocity and the wheel circumferential velocities of the driven wheels and producing output signals, and comparing means responding at least to one threshold value coordinated to the vehicle velocity, said regulating means including means for storing the instantaneous value of a magnitude determining the output torque, means for reducing the magnitude substantially to its minimum value when a value coordinated to the velocity of a driven wheel exceeds the threshold value coordinated to the vehicle velocity, and further means for changing said magnitude to a value which is smaller than that of the instantaneous value stored in a respective regulating cycle by a value dependent on the stored instantaneous value, on the engine rotational speed, on the ratio of the engine rotational speed to the rotational speed of the driven wheel and on the maximum value of the wheel acceleration which has occurred since exceeding the threshold value coordinated to the vehicle velocity, when the acceleration of the driven wheel passes over into a deceleration, and for changing said magnitude to another value which is larger than the value previously kept constant by a value dependent on the stored instantaneous value, on the engine rotational speed, on the ratio of the engine rotational speed to the rotational speed of the driven wheel and on the maximum value of the wheel deceleration that has occurred since the beginning of the wheel deceleration, when the value coordinated to the velocity of the driven wheel has dropped below the threshold value coordinated to the vehicle velocity.
