Patent ID: 6865469

Claim:
Method for detecting an over-steered cornering maneuver of a vehicle, comprising the steps of: determining of the wheel speeds of several wheels and determining first and second vehicle condition values, detecting over-steered cornering using at least one of the first and second vehicle condition values, wherein said over-steered cornering is detected, if the following condition is met: Sh−Sv>a, wherein Sh is a value describing a first vehicle condition, which has been determined with reference to said first vehicle condition value, wherein Sv is a value describing a second vehicle condition, which has been determined with reference to said second vehicle condition value, wherein a is a safety value, selecting reduction of the brake pressures or corresponding nominal values on the wheels located towards the inside of the curve, increasing the driving moment on the rear axle, changing the response thresholds of braking assistance functions, wherein at least one of said first or second vehicle condition values is a function of slip behavior of one or more vehicle wheels, wherein an over-steered cornering maneuver is considered as completed if at lout one of the following conditions is met: Sh−Sv<s, Sh−Sv>−s, Sha<Sa, wherein Sb is a value describing the slip behavior on the rear axle which has been determined with reference to at least one slip value of one wheel on the rear axle, Sv is a value describing the slip behavior on the front axle which has been determined with reference to at least one slip value of one wheel on the front axle wherein Sha is the slip on the outer rear wheel, wherein Sa is the slip on the outer front wheel, and wherein s is a threshold value.
