Abstract

A method for controlling a vehicle when driving on a bend, includes determining bend information, wherein the bend information characterizes a further course of the bend in a direction of travel after a current position of the vehicle, determining predicted lateral acceleration values based on the bend information, wherein each of the predicted lateral acceleration values indicates a lateral acceleration predicted to act on the vehicle at a respective one of a plurality of future positions over the further course of the bend, and determining the probability of overturning at the future positions based on the predicted lateral acceleration values by comparing the predicted lateral acceleration values with a lateral acceleration limit value. A roll stability control system outputs a reduced deceleration request if the predicted lateral acceleration values undershoot the lateral acceleration limit value at least in certain regions.
