Abstract

For the generation of a vehicle reference speed to serve as the reference value for the control of brake slip and/or traction slip in automotive vehicles, the rotational behavior of the controlled wheels is measured. The vehicle reference speed is defined by virtue of the rotational behavior of the individual wheels by way of logic combining, selection according to predetermined criteria and/or comparison with predetermined limit values. The wheel rotational behavior of each wheel is evaluated in comparison to the wheel-related vehicle reference speed (V.sub.Ref) according to several predefined criteria is then classified into reference-defining periods. As a function of ascertained reference-defining period, a vehicle reference value (b.sub.fzg) related to the individual wheel is determined which, together with the wheel-related vehicle reference values of the other wheels, determines the vehicle reference speed.
