24. A device for determining a center of rotation of a vehicle around a vertical axis of the vehicle, comprising:
-
an arrangement for determining the center of rotation as a function of a yaw rate and a float angle, for determining the yaw rate as a function of linear vehicle-dynamic quantities, and for determining the float angle as a function of linear vehicle-dynamic quantities, wherein the arrangement includes a sensor system situated at a rear area of the vehicle to detect the float angle; a memory in which data relating to the yaw rate and the float angle are stored, the arrangement determining the center of rotation as a function of the data; wherein the arrangement for determining the center of rotation additionally takes into account at least one of a float angle variation and a lateral velocity, wherein the center of rotation is computed with respect to a center of mass of the vehicle, wherein a variation of the center of rotation is determined based on a linear correlation between the center of mass and the center of rotation as a function of the yaw rate, and wherein the determination of the variation of the center of rotation is conditioned the float angle exceeding a threshold value. - View Dependent Claims (25, 26)
