Stabilization of a vehicle combination

摘要

A method and device for stabilizing a vehicle combination consisting of a tractor vehicle and a trailer are provided. In an embodiment, the method includes detecting a steering intervention that acts upon the steered wheels of the tractor vehicle and determining a current steering angle change Δδ(t) caused by the steering intervention and a corresponding current angular steering velocity dδ(t)/dt. A current speed of the tractor vehicle v(t) is determined A braking intervention, by which the wheel brakes of the trailer are activated, is automatically triggered in dependence on the current steering angle change Δδ(t), the current angular steering velocity dδ(t)/dt, and the current speed v(t).

1. A method for stabilizing a vehicle combination consisting of a tractor vehicle and a trailer, the method comprising the steps of:
detecting, by a processor, a steering intervention that acts upon steered wheels of the tractor vehicle; determining, by a processor, a current steering angle change Δδ(t) and a current angular steering velocity dδ(t)/dt based on the detection of the steering intervention; determining, by a processor, a current speed of the tractor vehicle v(t); and determining, by a processor, a danger level of a driving state based on the current steering angle change Δδ(t), the current angular steering velocity dδ(t)/dt, and the current speed v(t); and automatically triggering, by a processor, a braking intervention, by which wheel brakes of the trailer are activated, in dependence on the danger level.
