Abstract (en)

[origin: WO02053430A1] The invention relates to a method for controlling and/or regulating the handling characteristics of a motor vehicle, especially of a four-wheel drive motor vehicle with at least two driven wheels. At least one sensor element of a sensor (SVL, SVR, SHL, SHR) is disposed on the wheels and/or in the tires (RVL, RVR, RHL, RHR) associated with said wheels. The output signals of the sensors (SVL, SVR, SHL, SHR) are evaluated for controlling and/or regulating the handling characteristics of the motor vehicle. The inventive method comprises the following steps: a) detecting, by means of the sensors (SVL, SVR, SHL, SHR), the forces acting upon the wheels and/or on the tires (RVL, RVR, RHL, RHR), b) determining a reference speed (FZ_REF) representing the vehicle longitudinal speed while taking into consideration the forces acting upon the wheels and/or on the tires (RVL, RVR, RHL, RHR), and c) taking into consideration the reference speed (FZ_REF) in controlling and/or regulating the handling characteristics.
