Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The invention relates to a method in which the driving stability of a vehicle is controlled, wherein a yaw rate difference is influenced by an additional yaw moment which is generated at least partially by building up braking torque independently of the driver at one or more wheels. According to the invention, the braking torque which influences the additional yaw moment is variably apportioned between the front axle and the rear axle of the vehicle in an oversteering situation.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A method in which the driving stability of a vehicle is controlled, wherein a yaw rate difference between a measured actual yaw rate and a setpoint yaw rate is influenced by a yaw moment which is generated at least partially by building up braking torque independently of the driver at one or more wheels, wherein the braking torque influences the yaw moment and is variably apportioned between the front axle and the rear axle of the vehicle in oversteerin…
