Abstract
A movement of a vehicle is detected, using tire sensors, by evaluating detected, measured signals in an evaluating unit in such a manner, that the polarity of the measured signals, starting from the measured signals at vehicle standstill, is used as an indicator of the vehicle moving direction.
Claims3
A method for controlling a handling of a vehicle in response to a movement, comprising the steps of:
- causing tire sensors to detect forces acting on individual wheels;
- supplying to an evaluation unit measured signals detected by the tire sensors;
- detecting the measured signals while the vehicle is standing still;
- detecting the measured signals in response to the movement of the vehicle;
- analyzing each of the measured signals detected in response to the movement of the vehicle for a respective polarity thereof, in comparison with the measured signals detected while the vehicle is standing still, in the evaluation unit in order to detect a moving direction of individual tires of the vehicle while moving;
- detecting, based on the analyzing, a slip of at least one of the tires during the movement of the vehicle;
- and
- causing a drive/braking control to correspondingly control a braking pressure at the at least one of the tires in order to prevent the slip.
