A braking system for a rail-mounted traveling unit of a transfer vehicle. A brake arrangement can be adjusted between a braking position and a venting position and which is designed to exert a settable braking torque in the braking position. A control unit is designed to determine a braking torque and to activate accordingly the brake arrangement. A sensor arrangement detects an operating state of the transfer vehicle and external operating influences and transmits these to the control unit. During operation of the transfer vehicle the sensor arrangement detects the operating state of the transfer vehicle and the external operating influences on the transfer vehicle at periodic intervals and transmits these to the control unit as operating state data and operating influence data. During a braking process, the control unit determines a braking torque to be applied and activates the brake arrangement.

A method for detecting and correcting vehicle reference speed, in particular when the speed undergoes a controlled reduction due to drag or regeneration torque, of an all-wheel drive vehicle. The longitudinal acceleration of the motor vehicle, and the wheel accelerations are determined by sensors. The method is to provide reliable determination of the vehicle reference speed and the initiation of corrective measures once a controlled reduction has been recognized. The steps include filtering the wheel accelerations, filtering the longitudinal accelerations, forming a corrected longitudinal acceleration by applying a safety offset and a correction offset to the filtered longitudinal acceleration, and temporal integration of the difference between the corrected longitudinal acceleration and the respective wheel acceleration. In the event a threshold value of the absolute value of the difference is exceeded during a predetermined time interval with a preset number of wheels, step for adjusting the correction offset are initiated.
