Abstract
The invention relates to a method of controlling the performance of a motor vehicle in which the forces acting upon wheels and tires are detected by wheel force or tire sensors and are used as controlled variable(s) for an automotive servo-system, such as ABS, TCS, EMB etc. The variables are referred to determine and/or modulate the brake pressure in the wheel brakes of the wheels and/or the drive torque. The aim of the invention is to provide a method of controlling the performance of a motor vehicle which allows to optimize the influence on the movement of the vehicle. To this end, the working point and/or the operative range of the controlled variable(s) is adjusted using the detected wheel slippage.

A method of controlling the performance of a motor vehicle according to which the forces acting upon the tires are detected by wheel force or tire sensors and are used as controlled variable(s) for an automotive servo-system, including ABS, TCS, EHB, and EMB, and with which the controlled variables are referred to determine or modulate, or both determine and modulate, a_brake pressure in the wheel brakes of the wheels or a drive torque, or both the brake pressure and the drive torque, wherein a working point or operative range of controlled variable(s), or both the working point and operative range, is adjusted by means of a detected wheel slippage, the working point or operative range, or both the working point and operative range, is determined subject to variables, including at least one of wheel speeds or vehicle reference speed, either detected or calculated, or both detected and calculated, by means of sensors.
