Process for checking the stability of driving behaviour of a motor vehicle, characterised by the following steps: - definition of possible driving situations prior to a journey through naming combinations of possible values for a number of parameters describing a driving situation, wherein the parameters are the initial conditions required for a model-based calculation of the stability, - calculation of the chronological course of at least one property by means of which the stability of the vehicle driving behaviour can be described prior to the journey for the possible driving situations, by means of the respective combinations of possible values and storing a corresponding data set or the result of an evaluation of the dataset, - determining the values of the parameters during the journey for at least one current driving situation, - checking during the journey whether the respective values of parameters determined for the current driving situation correspond to a defined combination of possible values for this parameter for possible driving situations, - allocating the chronological course calculated of at least one property of a defined possible driving situation to the current vehicle driving situation during the journey, if the current respective values of the parameter determined for the current driving situation correspond to the combination given of possible values for the majority of the parameters for this fixed possible driving situation, - setting the value of at least one of the parameters as a control variable which is allocated to a vehicle chassis during the journey, wherein this value is set as a control variable for which a number of possible driver situations dependent on the defined target function of the parameters are calculated by means of a majority of the chronological courses of at least one property in each case for a combination of possible values for the majority of parameters, at an extreme level, by varying the value set as the control variable whilst keeping all other values of parameters constant. - definition of possible driving situations prior to a journey through naming combinations of possible values for a number of parameters describing a driving situation, wherein the parameters are the initial conditions required for a model-based calculation of the stability, - calculation of the chronological course of at least one property by means of which the stability of the vehicle driving behaviour can be described prior to the journey for the possible driving situations, by means of the respective combinations of possible values and storing a corresponding data set or the result of an evaluation of the dataset, - determining the values of the parameters during the journey for at least one current driving situation, - checking during the journey whether the respective values of parameters determined for the current driving situation correspond to a defined combination of possible values for this parameter for possible driving situations, - allocating the chronological course calculated of at least one property of a defined possible driving situation to the current vehicle driving situation during the journey, if the current respective values of the parameter determined for the current driving situation correspond to the combination given of possible values for the majority of the parameters for this fixed possible driving situation, - setting the value of at least one of the parameters as a control variable which is allocated to a vehicle chassis during the journey, wherein this value is set as a control variable for which a number of possible driver situations dependent on the defined target function of the parameters are calculated by means of a majority of the chronological courses of at least one property in each case for a combination of possible values for the majority of parameters, at an extreme level, by varying the value set as the control variable whilst keeping all other values of parameters constant.
