Abstract:
1. A device for regulating the driving dynamics of a vehicle having a driver's cab mounted resiliently with respect to a frame of the vehicle, the device comprising a steer angle sensor configured to measure a steer angle; a yaw rate sensor in the driver's cab and configured to measure a yaw rate of the driver's cab; a further sensor configured to determine a deflection of the driver's cab out of a reference position; and a control unit configured to evaluate the sensor signals from the steer angle, yaw rate and further sensors and to influence at least one of a brake system and a drive of the vehicle as a function of the sensor signals, the control unit being configured to at least one of estimate and calculate a yaw rate of the vehicle frame as a function of the measured yaw rate of the driver's cab and as a function of the deflection of the driver's cab out of its reference position, and to influence at least one of the brake system and the drive when the difference between the at least one of estimated and calculated yaw rate of the vehicle frame and a setpoint yaw rate determined by the control unit at least as a function of the measured steer angle and vehicle speed pertaining to the vehicle frame is above a predefined threshold value.
