Abstract: The disclosure relates to a method for controlling a vehicle braking system on the basis of vehicle-specific data, wherein the vehicle braking system comprises individually actuatable brakes. In the method, a braking operation is detected, a status condition is queried during a temporal observation window, and a yaw variable present and a physical characterizing variable present at the same time are detected. Subsequently, the detected yaw variable is stored and the yaw variable is assigned to a data set. This is repeated in order to create a database. Further, a corrective braking force is determined and the braking force of a brake is automatically adjusted depending on the corrective braking force to reduce the yaw variable. The disclosure also relates to an apparatus for compensating a yaw moment acting on a vehicle.
