Abstract: A method for stabilizing a vehicle including a trailer drawn by the vehicle including the steps of: determining the yaw rate of the vehicle; determining the reference yaw rate in a vehicle model; producing a difference value from the yaw rate and the reference yaw rate; weighting the difference value with a signal describing the steering dynamics; producing a signal to determine the side of intervention and/or the wheel of intervention and/or the steering angle direction of the vehicle from the tendency to change of the weighted difference value, and applying a counteracting moment depending on the amplitude and the tendency to change of the weighted difference value.

Abstract: A method of stabilizing a vehicle, in particular for stabilizing the vehicle with respect to tilting movements, to the load condition of the vehicle, performs a control depending on a load condition of the vehicle, and the load condition of the vehicle is determined by way of a vehicle mass that is established due to a balance of forces that act on the vehicle, and/or by way of a characteristic speed of the vehicle.

Abstract: In order to adapt a method of stabilizing a vehicle, in particular for stabilizing the vehicle with respect to tilting movements, to the load condition of the vehicle, it is disclosed to perform a control method for the vehicle stabilization depending on a load condition of the vehicle, and the load condition of the vehicle is determined by way of a vehicle mass that is established due to a balance of forces that act on the vehicle, and/or by way of a characteristic speed of the vehicle.

Abstract: Method and Device for Stabilizing a Car-Trailer Combination A method and device for stabilizing a car-trailer combination, including a towing vehicle and a trailer moved by the towing vehicle, is disclosed. The rolling motions of the towing vehicle are monitored and measures that stabilize driving are preformed upon detection of an actual or expected unstable driving condition of the towing vehicle or the car-trailer combination. In order to insure a proper intervention, the yaw velocity of the towing vehicle or the car-trailer combination is detected and the measures that stabilize driving conditions are controlled dependent upon the detected yaw velocity.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method and a device for stabilizing a car-trailer combination, including a towing vehicle and a trailer moved by the towing vehicle, wherein the towing vehicle is monitored in terms of rolling motions and measures that stabilize driving are taken upon the detection of an actual or expected unstable driving performance of the towing vehicle or the car-trailer combination. In order to be able to perform, in a timely manner, an intervention on the towing vehicle that stabilizes driving, the invention provides that the measures that stabilize driving are controlled in dependence on the yaw acceleration.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for stabilizing a car-trailer combination, including a towing vehicle and a trailer moved by the towing vehicle. The rolling motions of the towing vehicle are monitored to detect an actual or expected unstable driving performance of the towing vehicle or car-trailer combination. Measures are taken to stabilize the driving performance when an unstable driving performance is detected or expected. These measures may include decelerating the towing vehicle dependent upon the amplitudes of the rolling motions.
