Abstract:
A device for influencing a propulsion of a vehicle, the device comprising:a first arrangement for measuring a transverse acceleration variable corresponding to a transverse acceleration acting upon the vehicle; a second arrangement for determining at least one time behavior variable corresponding to a time behavior of the transverse acceleration variable, the at least one time behavior variable including a period duration variable corresponding to a time interval of two zero-crossings of the transverse acceleration variable with a sign reversal, the sign reversal being at least one of a same sign reversal and a reversal from positive to negative values of the transverse acceleration variable; a third arrangement for determining an intervention variable at least based on the transverse acceleration variable and on the at least one time behavior variable and a fourth arrangement for performing at least one intervention, the at least one intervention including at least one engine intervention for influencing the propulsion, the at least one engine intervention being performable based on the intervention variable.
