Abstract:
1. A method for influencing transverse dynamics of a vehicle in an evasive maneuver, the method comprising: controlling, with a vehicle controller, at least one of a sideslip angle and a yaw rate of the vehicle; determining, by the vehicle controller, whether to automatically intervene in a driver control depending on whether a predefined threshold value is exceeded by the at least one of the sideslip angle and the yaw rate, wherein the automatic intervention is triggered when the predefined threshold value is exceeded by the at least one of the sideslip angle and the yaw rate; monitoring a vehicle environment with regard to an obstacle possibly present in a driving direction of the vehicle; estimating a risk of a collision with the obstacle; and setting a particular control behavior of the vehicle controller as a function of a dangerous situation; wherein the predefined threshold value is selected based on a speed at which the vehicle is approaching the obstacle.
