Abstract: The invention relates to a device and a method for stabilizing a vehicle, having a detection device (10) which is provided for determining an actual value of a lateral dynamics variable which describes the lateral dynamics of the vehicle, and having an evaluation unit (11) which determines a setpoint value for the lateral dynamics variable and limits said setpoint value to a limit value which is determined as a function of a prescribed stability condition if it is found that the magnitude of the setpoint value of the lateral dynamics variable exceeds the magnitude of the determined limit value, with the evaluation unit (11) actuating vehicle assemblies (12), which are provided for influencing the longitudinal and/or lateral dynamics of the vehicle, as a function of a comparison of the determined actual value and the determined and possibly limited setpoint value of the lateral dynamics variable in such a way that the driving stability of the vehicle is increased.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a control system (7) for a vehicle combination composed of a towing vehicle and a trailer for picking up, transporting and setting down a frame which can be positioned on supports and have a payload loaded onto it, wherein a path computer (8) is provided which calculates a path which, in order to pick up the frame (4) calculates a path which leads the trailer backward under the frame. A particularly reliable system is obtained if a first input device (10) is provided, by means of which an actual position and an actual orientation of the frame can be input into the path computer (8), and if a second input device (11) is provided by means of which an actual position and an actual orientation of the trailer can be input into the path computer (8).
