Abstract: A method is for predicting a transverse dynamic stabilization behavior of a present vehicle configuration of a vehicle. The method includes ascertaining two or more geometric characteristics of the present vehicle configuration; ascertaining two or more load characteristics of the present vehicle configuration; generating an individualized vehicle model of the present vehicle configuration from a vehicle base model of the vehicle using the geometric characteristics and the load characteristics; predicting dynamic properties of the present vehicle configuration using the individualized vehicle model; and defining at least one drive dynamic threshold for the vehicle on the basis of the dynamic properties of the present vehicle configuration. A drive assistance system and/or a computer program is configured to perform the method. A vehicle includes the driving assistance system.

Abstract: A vehicle control system is for a vehicle. The control system has a first control unit configured to determine a manipulated variable of a vehicle actuator of the vehicle and to output same at an actuator interface, a second control unit, which can be connected to a vehicle network and a private network of the vehicle to receive signals that include two or more geometric characteristics and two or more load characteristics of a current vehicle configuration of the vehicle, and a control system network. The second control unit is configured to define a driving dynamics limit value of the current vehicle configuration using the characteristics and to provide the driving dynamics limit value on the control system network. The first control unit is configured to determine the manipulated variable using the driving dynamics limit value.

Abstract: A method is for determining a steering roll radius of a vehicle. The method includes the following steps: during a journey, initiating an asymmetrical braking maneuver on a steered axle of the vehicle, in which a first braking force is supplied to a first wheel of the steered axle, which is greater than a second braking force supplied to the other wheel of the steered axle, during the braking maneuver, detecting a steering command signal input from the driver or a vehicle system and a steering torque applied to the wheels of the braked axle, evaluating the asymmetrical braking maneuver as a function of determined data, determining at least a sign of the steering roll radius of at least the first wheel as a function of the evaluation.

Abstract: A method for determining unstable behavior of a trailer of a vehicle combination, the vehicle combination having N members, one of the members being a tractor vehicle and at least one further member being the trailer, the unstable behavior of the trailer being determined depending on a driving-dynamics actual characteristic variable of the tractor vehicle, includes: determining at least one driving-dynamics actual characteristic variable of the trailer, the at least one driving-dynamics actual characteristic variable characterizing a current driving-dynamics state of the trailer and following from a measurement by at least one sensor in the trailer; and determining at least one driving-dynamics target characteristic variable of the trailer, the at least one driving-dynamics target characteristic variable following from the at least one driving-dynamics actual characteristic variable of the tractor vehicle by using a kinematic model depending on geometric characteristic variables of the vehicle combination.
