1. A method for stabilizing the driving behavior of a tractor-trailer combination (1) comprising a plurality of vehicles, the method comprising the steps ofobtaining a tilting inclination variable;

  • anddetermining a tilting limit (16) on the basis of the tilting inclination variable;

    prescribing the tilting limit to a vehicle movement dynamics control system acting on at least one of a drivetrain or brakes of the tractor-trailer combination (1) to prevent tilting inclination by selective control interventions into an engine management system or a drive of a tractor (2) or by selective actuation of brake cylinders (5),wherein a respective individual tilting inclination variable is determined at a plurality of vehicles of the tractor-trailer combination (1), and a value (18) of the tilting inclination variable which is decisive for the determination of the tilting limit (16) is selected from the respective individual tilting inclination variables.
