Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2012044210A1] The invention relates to a method of braking a vehicle (100), particularly a towing vehicle and/or a towed vehicle of a truck, having at least three axles (10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70), wherein each axle (10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70) has at least one left wheel (101, 201, 301, 401, 501, 601, 701) and one right wheel (10r, 20r, 30r, 40r, 50r, 60r, 70r), wherein at least two selected axles (30, 40, 50, 60, 70) and/or left and right wheels (301, 401, 501, 601, 701; 30r, 40r, 50r, 60r, 70r) connected to the at least two selected axles (30, 40, 50, 60, 70) are steerable, and wherein, for exerting a brake force, the left and right wheels (301, 401, 501, 601, 701; 30r, 40r, 50r, 60r, 70r) of at least one of two selected axles (30, 40, 50, 60, 70) are turned compared to a straight direction (80) to counteract cornering of the vehicle (100). The left and right wheels (301, 401, 501, 601, 701; 30r, 40r, 50r, 60r, 70r) associated with the same one of the two selected axles (30, 40, 50, 60, 70) are turned in the same direction (80r, 801).
