Cornering Detection

Shifting up in corners is prevented above a defined lateral acceleration. The radius of the bend is detected from the differences in speed of the inside and outside wheels. An accurate enough calculation of the lateral acceleration is made by taking the travelling speed into consideration. Identical front wheel tire circumferences are a prerequisite for this calculation.
