1. Device for controlling a vehicle (VH) comprising:
- first sensor means (CAP1) for picking up and supplying a first signal (S1) representing the current longitudinal speed of the vehicle,second sensor means (CAP2) for picking up and supplying a second signal (S2) representing the current transverse speed of the vehicle,first means (ACT1) for actuating a motor element in accordance with a first selected actuator order (CACT1) to displace the vehicle longitudinally,second means (ACT2) for actuating a steering element in accordance with a second selected actuator order (CACT2) to displace the vehicle transversely,vehicle control means (COMV) for receiving first and second reference orders (CREF1 and CREF2) to control respectively the motor and steering elements of the vehicle and determining the first and second actuator orders (CACT1 and CACT2) according to a servomechanism which takes into account at least the supplied first and second signals (S1 and S2) and the first and second reference orders (CREF1 and CREF2), andthe servomechanism, in response to the second reference order (CREF2), repeatedly adjusts the first actuator order (CACT1), relating to the longitudinal speed of the vehicle, based on the supplied first and second signals (S1 and S2), so that the second actuator order (CACT2) eventually corresponds to the second reference order (CREF2).

Abstract
A control device for making safe a fast vehicle comprises a servomechanism that, in response to a reference variable relating to the longitudinal speed of the vehicle, adapts in real time an actuator variable of a motor element of the vehicle until an actuator variable of a steering element corresponds to a reference variable relating to the transverse displacement of the vehicle, which makes it possible to make safe the longitudinal and transverse displacements of the vehicle, even at high longitudinal speed.
