Abstract: In a method and apparatus for stabilizing running of a wobbling trailer towed by a vehicle, a tandem of trailer and vehicle is braked by a brake device activated by a control device. The braking process is triggered, when an amplitude of the oscillation of the trailer exceeds a predetermined value. As a result, the tandem is decelerated to a speed at which the amplitude of the oscillation of the trailer falls below a predetermined value. The tandem is decelerated more intensely in the case of a wobbling trailer and when travelling at a first travelling speed than in the case of a wobbling trailer and when travelling at a second travelling speed which is lower than the first travelling speed, and the tandem is braked in presence of the first driving speed during exceeding a lower value of the amplitude than in the presence of the second driving speed.

Abstract: 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.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for controlling driving stability wherein pressures for the individual brakes are determined by means of several input variables so that driving stability of the vehicle is enhanced as a result of ESP intervention. To provide a modification of the ESP driving stability control which actively prevents understeering, it is determined in a cornering maneuver with an understeering driving behavior whether force is transmitted between vehicle tire and roadway in a correlation to a limit value Gslip during ESP intervention at the curve-inward rear wheel, with ESP intervention being executed at the curve-inward front wheel in addition to the curve-inward rear wheel when the limit value is reached or exceeded.
