Abstract

Device and method which to control movement quantities representing the movement of the vehicle. The device contains first arrangement for detecting quantities representing the movement of the vehicle. The device has at least two control devices which implement, independently of one another, control actions to stabilize the vehicle with the help of suitable actuators on the basis of quantities detected with the help of the first arrangement. At least one of the control devices influences the steering of the vehicle. Furthermore, at least one of the control devices influences the brakes and/or the engine of the vehicle, and/or an additional control device influences the chassis actuators. In addition, the device has a second arrangement with which signals and/or quantities are determined on the basis of the quantities detected with the first arrangement and used to influence at least temporarily at least one of the minimum of two control devices, so that the vehicle is thereby stabilized. At least one of the minimum of two control devices implements control actions to stabilize the vehicle, without being influenced by the second arrangement until it is influenced by the signals and/…
