Device and method for controlling wheel slip

The present invention relates to a device and a method for controlling wheel slip for a motor vehicle according to the preamble of Patent claim and the preamble of Patent claim , respectively. A device for controlling the wheel slip, particularly for controlling the brake slip and/or the drive slip of individual wheels for a motor vehicle, by which a braking pressure applied to the vehicle wheels can be varied and/or set as a function of the movement behavior of the vehicle wheels, having means for braking, particularly for locking, at least the front wheels and/or the rear wheels of the motor vehicle in the event a skidding condition is detected, the vehicle having wheel-speed sensors () whose signals contain information about the direction of rotation of the respective wheel, these signals being processed within the framework of a skid detection.
