Abstract:
A vehicle combination comprising a tractor vehicle and a trailer vehicle, each vehicle including wheels on different sides of the vehicle and wheel brakes associated with the wheels. A method for controlling the vehicle combination includes determining a yaw rate difference between a yaw rate of the tractor vehicle and a yaw rate of the trailer vehicle; determining, on the basis of the yaw rate difference, that an orientation of one of the vehicles deviates from an intended travel direction of the vehicle combination; and activating a wheel brake of the vehicle on only one side of the vehicle in order to counter the orientation deviation of the vehicle relative to the intended travel direction.

Claim (Index 12):
A method of controlling a vehicle combination ( 100 ) having a tractor vehicle ( 105 ) and a trailer vehicle ( 110 ), the method comprising:\n determining a yaw rate difference between a yaw rate of the tractor vehicle ( 105 ) and a yaw rate of the trailer vehicle ( 110 ); on a basis of the yaw rate difference, determining that an orientation deviation ( 205 ,  210 ) of one of the tractor and the trailer vehicles ( 105 ,  110 ) which deviates from an intended travel direction ( 215 ) of the vehicle combination ( 100 ); providing the vehicle ( 105 ,  110 ) with wheels ( 120 ,  125 ) on different sides of the vehicle and, in each case, wheel brakes ( 130 ) being associated with each of the wheels ( 120 ,  125 ); and activating at least one wheel brake ( 130 ) of the vehicle ( 105 ,  110 ) concerned on only one side of the vehicle in order to counter the orientation deviation of the vehicle ( 105 ,  110 ) relative to the intended travel direction ( 215 ).
