Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2004041614A1] The invention relates to a method for stabilizing a vehicle combination consisting of a towing vehicle and of a trailer towed thereby. According to the invention, the towing vehicle is monitored with regard to rolling motions and, in the event actual or expected unstable vehicle handling of the towing vehicle or of the vehicle combination is detected, measures that stabilize driving are taken. The inventive method involves the steps of determining and evaluating rolling motions with regard to critical or uncritical driving conditions as well as decelerating the towing vehicle according to the amplitudes of the rolling motions.
