Abstract
To control the tilt of a multi-axle vehicle, a first detector detects the vehicle tilt and sends a signal to a control unit for causing selected vehicle speed reduction for controlling the tilt. To control the direction of the vehicle, another sensor detects the actual course of the vehicle, compares that with a desired course and sends a signal to the control unit also for causing a selected vehicle speed reduction device at the wheels for restoring the course of the vehicle. The signals for tilt and direction may be superimposed for setting the speed reduction on the wheels.
