| Summary: | A traction control method is provided for dynamically maintaining safe driving traction between a tire and a driving surface in a decelerating motor vehicle through a modulated braking device. The method monitors the acceleration response of a tire to a torque change induced by modulation of a braking device. Observation of the acceleration profile over time is used to determine whether additional braking torque or pressure can be applied without causing the tire to slip. A Traction Reserve value is computed through observing the acceleration trend of the tire over time after a single change in torque, whether that change is accomplished as an increase or a decrease. |
