Abstract:
1. A method in which the driving behavior of a vehicle is influenced as a function of data on the surroundings in order to assist the vehicle during an avoidance maneuver, the method comprising: applying by an electronically controlled braking system, in a first phase of the avoidance maneuver when the driver steers the vehicle in a first direction to steer around an obstacle, more braking force to a tire on the inside of a first bend than to a tire on the outside of the first bend as soon as a risk of a collision is detected on the basis of i) data from one or more environment sensors, the one or more environment sensors including at least one of radar sensors and cameras, and ii) data from one or more vehicle sensors, the one or more vehicle sensor including at least one of a steering angle sensor, a yaw rate sensor and wheel speed sensors, in order to assist the driver in steering around the obstacle, applying by the electronically controlled braking system, in a second phase of the avoidance maneuver when after steering around the obstacle in the first phase the driver steers the vehicle in a second direction opposite the first direction, more braking force to the tire on the outside of a second bend than to the tire on the inside of the second bend in order to dampen the driver steering and stabilize the vehicle.
