1. A system for a vehicle for controlling/adjusting the wheel behaviour of at least one vehicle wheel, comprising:
at least one unit configured to determine a wheel vertical force of at least two vehicle wheels which are mounted on the same axle of the vehicle,
wherein the at least one unit further comprises travel sensors associated with the at least two vehicle wheels, the travel sensors of the at least one unit detecting the wheel vertical force of the at least two vehicle wheels;
wherein the system is adapted to determine for each of the at least two vehicle wheels—at least one parameter indicative of the wheel behaviour based on the wheel vertical force detected by the travel sensors,
wherein the system is adapted to determine, on the basis of the wheel vertical forces determined by the unit for determining the wheel vertical force for the at least two vehicle wheels, at least the vehicle wheel with a higher wheel vertical force,
wherein the system is further adapted to set the at least one parameter indicative of the wheel behaviour determined for the at least one vehicle wheel with the higher wheel vertical force as a target value for the at least one vehicle wheel with a lower wheel vertical force;
wherein the system is connected or is able to be connected to a braking system and/or an antilock braking system of a vehicle in order to adjust/control the wheel behaviour of the at least one vehicle wheel with the lower wheel vertical force in accordance with the target value via the brake at the vehicle wheel in question.
