Vehicle with brake force regulations on gradient

A process for adjusting the speed of a vehicle travelling on a gradient to a predetermined desired speed, wherein said vehicle is equipped with an ABS or an ASR system, comprising

• determining the actual speed at which said vehicle is travelling on the gradient,
• determining a control deviation for said vehicle, said control deviation being the difference between said actual speed of said vehicle and said desired speed,
• actively applying the brakes of said vehicle when the control deviation is greater than a predetermined amount,
• distributing the brake force during said active brake application so that the brake force applied to the brakes on the downhill axle is greater than the brake force applied to the brakes of the uphill axle by a fixed percentage, and
• monitoring the temperature of at least the brakes of the downhill axle and emitting a warning signal when the temperature exceeds a fixed limit.
