Abstract
A quantity describing the wheel rpm is determined for at least one wheel in this method of determining a quantity describing the height of the center of gravity of a vehicle. A quantity describing wheel performance is determined for at least one wheel at least as a function of the quantity describing the wheel rpm of the corresponding wheel. A quantity describing the height of the center of gravity of the vehicle is determined at least as a function of the quantity that is determined for at least one wheel and describes wheel performance of this wheel. This method of determining the quantity describing the height of the center of gravity of a vehicle is used as part of a method of stabilizing the vehicle.
