Abstract
For evaluating the wheel speed signals (V(n)) required by an anti-locking or traction slip control system, a basic speed (VBas(n)) is derived from the speed signals of the individual wheels, and a wheel factor (Ki(n)) is formed for each wheel which, when multiplied by the wheel speed, forms the basic speed. For further signal processing, the wheel speed multiplied by the appertaining wheel factor is used in lieu of the actual wheel speed to form the reference speed, and the control signals.
