Abstract: A driver assist arrangement includes a first yaw rate controller, a hazard evaluation unit, a driver intention evaluation unit, and a second yaw rate controller. The first yaw rate controller is configured to control a yaw rate of a vehicle hosting the arrangement by comparing an expected yaw rate with an actual yaw rate, and in response thereto selectively apply brakes of respective wheels of the host vehicle. The second yaw rate controller is configured to intervene in the control of the first yaw rate controller in case the evaluated risk of an accident is above a threshold value and occurrence of an avoidance maneuver initiated by the driver is detected. A vehicle including a driver assist arrangement and a method of assisting a driver of a vehicle are also provided.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a method and arrangement for estimating a friction coefficient (?i) between tires of a wheeled two-axis two-track road vehicle and the ground. If the longitudinal velocity ?x of the vehicle is above a first threshold ?xthres and the wheel angle ?f and/or the yaw rate ?z are/is below a second threshold ?thres/?zthres, a positive torque is applied to both wheels on a first axle and an and opposite, negative torque, to both wheels on a second axle while following driver requested longitudinal vehicle acceleration (ax). Wheel speeds ?i are measured and tire forces (fi) estimated. The friction coefficient (?i) between the tires and the ground are estimated from the measured wheel speeds ?i and the estimated tire forces (fi). The estimated friction coefficient (?i) is made available to other vehicle systems.
