System and method for monitoring the vehicle dynamics of a motor vehicle
First Claim
1. A system for monitoring the handling properties of a motor vehicle having at least two wheels (12), comprising:
- at least one wheel-force sensor device (10) associated with a wheel (12), which device detects at least one wheel-force component of the respective wheel (12) acting essentially between the driving surface and the tire contact area and outputs a signal (Si, Sa) representing the wheel-force component; and
an evaluation device (14) which processes the signal (Si, Sa) representing the wheel-force component of the wheel (12), wherein the evaluation device (14) determines a yaw moment of the vehicle on the basis of the processing result.

Abstract
A system of monitoring the handling properties of a motor vehicle having at least two wheels (12) includes at least one wheel-force sensor device (10) associated with a wheel (12), which detects at least one wheel-force component of the respective wheel (12) acting essentially between the driving surface and the tire contact area, outputs a signal (Si, Sa) representing the wheel-force component, and includes an evaluation device (14) which processes the signal (Si, Sa) representing the wheel-force component of the wheel (12). The evaluation device (14) determines a yaw moment of the vehicle according to the result of the processing. A corresponding method is also described.

12. A system for controlling and/or regulating the handling properties of a motor vehicle having at least one tire and/or one wheel (12), a force sensor (20, 22) being positioned in the tire and/or on the wheel (12), in particular on the wheel bearing, and a yaw moment variable representing the current yaw moment being determined as a function of the output signals from the force sensor (20, 22), this yaw moment variable being used for controlling and/or regulating the handling properties.
