Method and device for stabilizing a vehicle
First Claim
1. A method for stabilizing a road vehicle (1), particularly a passenger car, having a trailer (2) pulled by the road vehicle (1), characterized in that the road vehicle (1) is monitored with respect to snaking movements, and that when a snaking movement is detected, an essentially periodic yaw moment that is essentially in phase opposition to the snaking movement is applied automatically to the road vehicle (1).

Abstract
A method and a device for stabilizing a road vehicle, particularly a passenger car, having a trailer pulled by the road vehicle, the road vehicle being monitored with respect to snaking movements, and upon detection of a snaking movement, a yaw moment that is essentially in phase opposition to the snaking movement being applied automatically to the road vehicle.

- 1. A method for stabilizing a road vehicle (1), particularly a passenger car, having a trailer (2) pulled by the road vehicle (1), characterized in that the road vehicle (1) is monitored with respect to snaking movements, and that when a snaking movement is detected, an essentially periodic yaw moment that is essentially in phase opposition to the snaking movement is applied automatically to the road vehicle (1).

9. A method for stabilizing a road vehicle (1), particularly a passenger car, having a trailer (2) pulled by the road vehicle (1), the trailer (2) having an inertia braking system,
characterized in that the road vehicle (1) is monitored with respect to snaking movements, and that when a snaking movement is detected, an essentially periodic yaw moment that is essentially in phase opposition to the snaking movement is applied automatically to the road vehicle (1); -
characterized in that the road vehicle (1) is additionally automatically decelerated for a short duration in such a way that the inertia braking system of the trailer (2) is triggered; and
characterized in that the automatic, short-duration deceleration for triggering the inertia braking system of the trailer (2) is implemented by reducing the drive torque of an engine propelling the road vehicle (1). - View Dependent Claims (10, 11)
characterized in that the short-duration automatic deceleration of the road vehicle (1) is only carried out when the application of the yaw moment has resulted in a reduction of the snaking movement.

12. A stabilization device for stabilizing a road vehicle (1), particularly a passenger car, having a trailer (2), characterized in that the stabilization device has means (20) for detecting a snaking movement of the road vehicle (1), as well as for applying an essentially periodic yaw moment to the road vehicle (1) upon detection of a snaking movement, the applied yaw moment being essentially in phase opposition to the snaking movement.

13. A method for stabilizing a road vehicle having a trailer pulled by the road vehicle, comprising the steps of:
-
monitoring the road vehicle with respect to snaking movements; and
when a snaking movement is detected, automatically applying to the road vehicle an essentially periodic yaw moment that is essentially in phase opposition to the snaking movement. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24)

25. A stabilization device for stabilizing a road vehicle having a trailer, comprising:
-
a first arrangement configured to detect a snaking movement of the road vehicle; and
a second arrangement configured to apply an essentially periodic yaw moment to the road vehicle essentially in phase opposition to the snaking movement upon detection of the snaking movement. - View Dependent Claims (26)
