Abstract
A method for controlling vehicle stability comprises the steps of determining the rate of yaw and comparing it to a setpoint rate of yaw. The deviation is used to adjust a counter rate of yaw by means of a controller when the rate of yaw is too large. An optimal profile for a setpoint rate of yaw is determined, even when parameters such as the coefficient of friction of the road surface and the vehicle speed vary.
