Patent ID: 7305292

Claim:
A device for stabilizing a vehicle in a critical driving situation, comprising: a vehicle dynamics control system including a control unit, in which a vehicle dynamics control algorithm is stored, and at least one first actuator; and a vehicle stability system having at least one second actuator, wherein: the vehicle dynamics control algorithm generates a controller output variable from which a first actuating request for the at least one first actuator and a second actuating request for the at least one second actuator is derived; and the vehicle dynamics control algorithm includes a distribution unit that generates the first actuating request and the second actuating request from the controller output variable, the distribution unit implemented in such a way that: the first actuating request is derived from the controller output variable, a residual value of the controller output variable is determined from the controller output variable and the first actuating request, and the second actuating request is determined from the residual value.
