Patent ID: 7149614

Claim:
A device for detecting and rectifying a danger of a rollover of a vehicle about an axis oriented in a longitudinal direction of the vehicle, the device comprising: a plurality of actuators and driver information systems; an arrangement configured to determine a variable describing transverse dynamics of the vehicle; an arrangement configured to compare the variable describing the transverse dynamics of the vehicle with at least one characteristic threshold value; and a regulating system configured to output signals for controlling the actuators; wherein, the regulating system is configured to perform the following if the variable describing the transverse dynamics of the vehicle is equal or greater than the characteristic threshold value: a) restrict certain sets of possible combinations of output signal values and prevent the output signals from being transmitted to the plurality of actuators; and b) activate at least one intervention for stability of the vehicle, the at least one intervention having an intensity that increases with an increasing value of the variable describing the transverse dynamics such that at least three intensity stages of the at least one intervention occur, a reduction of a maximum possible engine torque occurring in with the increase in the variable describing the transverse dynamics.
