Abstract:
1. A method for rollover stabilization of a vehicle in critical driving situations, the method comprising: performing a stability algorithm, the stability algorithm using a sensor system to detect a critical rollover driving situation and using an actuator to intervene in a driving operation and stabilize the vehicle in a critical rollover driving situation for the vehicle; one of activating and deactivating regulation intervention as a function of a control variable, wherein the control variable is calculated as a function of a measured transverse acceleration and a first variable which is a function of the steering angle and the longitudinal vehicle velocity, the first variable being supplied to one of a buffer device and a memory device, wherein the one of the buffer device and the memory device includes a counter whose output signal is weighted using a characteristic curve and used in calculating the control variable; setting the counter to a predefined counter value when the first variable exceeds a first threshold value; and after setting the counter to the predefined counter value, causing the counter to count backwards from the predefined counter value when the first variable drops below a second threshold value.
