METHOD OF IMPROVING ABS CONTROL BEHAVIOUR

In a method of improving the control behavior of an anti-lock control system, criteria for identifying a cornering situation and the direction of curve are obtained from the rotating behavior of the vehicle wheels. For cornering identification, the wheel slip values (.lambda..sub.i) are filtered by way of a first order, low pass and the filtered values are compared. The time constant (T) of the low pass filter is varied as a function of the acceleration (a.sub.i) of the respective wheel (i). The time constant (T.sub.i) of the filter starting from a minimum value (T.sub.min), is increased according to the relation EQU T.sub.i =T.sub.min +(a.sub.grenz -a.sub.i)/k.sub.1 as soon as the acceleration (a.sub.i) of the respective wheel (i) drops below a predetermined limit value (a.sub.grenz).
