1. A method for operating a vehicle, comprising:
- individually adjusting braking forces of wheels of at least one axle of the vehicle using a vehicle controller; and
using a yawing moment compensator to at least partially compensate for a yawing moment of the vehicle resulting from different braking forces of individual wheels of the at least one axle by determining a steering angle to be applied at a steered axle based on an instantaneous compensation steering angle, a compensation steering angle maintained during an intervention by the vehicle controller, and based on the vehicle controller intervening;
wherein the intervening action is one of not performed and performed to a lesser degree when the vehicle controller is adjusting braking forces.

Abstract
Device and method are described for operating a vehicle using a vehicle controller to individually adjust braking forces of the wheels of at least one axle of the vehicle and using a yawing moment compensator to at least partially compensate for a yawing moment of the vehicle resulting from different braking forces of individual wheels of at least one axle by intervening in a steering of the vehicle, the action of the yawing moment compensator on the steering not being performed or only to a lesser degree while the vehicle controller is adjusting braking forces.

14. A method for operating a vehicle, comprising:
-
individually adjusting braking forces of wheels of at least one axle of the vehicle using a vehicle controller;
intervening in a steering operation of the vehicle using a yawing moment compensator to at least partially compensate for a yawing moment of the vehicle resulting from different braking forces of individual wheels of the at least one axle by determining a steering angle to be applied at a steered axle based on an instantaneous compensation steering angle, a compensation steering angle maintained during an intervention by the vehicle controller, and based on the vehicle controller intervening;
determining separate partial compensation steering angles for front wheels and rear wheels; and
determining the compensation steering angle as a function of the partial compensation steering angles;
wherein the intervening is one of not performed and performed to a lesser degree when the vehicle controller is adjusting braking forces, and wherein the intervening is performed in the performing step in accordance with a compensation steering angle determined as a function of the braking forces of individual wheels. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22)

23. An apparatus for operating a vehicle, comprising:
-
an adjusting arrangement to adjust braking forces of wheels of at least one axle of the vehicle using a vehicle controller;
an intervening arrangement to intervene in a steering operation of the vehicle using a yawing moment compensator to at least partially compensate for a yawing moment of the vehicle resulting from different braking forces of individual wheels of the at least one axle; and
a determining arrangement to determine separate partial compensation steering angles for front wheels and rear wheels, and to determine the compensation steering angle as a function of the partial compensation steering angles, and determining a steering angle to be applied at a steered axle based on an instantaneous compensation steering angle, a compensation steering angle maintained during an intervention by the vehicle controller, and based on the vehicle controller intervening;
wherein the intervening is one of not performed and performed to a lesser degree when the vehicle controller is adjusting braking forces, and the intervening is performed in accordance with a compensation steering angle determined as a function of the braking forces of individual wheels. - View Dependent Claims (24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29)
