Abstract

A device for influencing the propulsion of a vehicle includes a first arrangement for measuring a transverse acceleleration variable describing the transverse acceleration acting upon the vehicle, a second arrangement for determining a variable describing the time behavior of the transverse accelaretion variable, a third arrangement for determining an intervention variable at least as a function of the transverse acceleration variable and of the variable describing the time behavior of the transverse acceleration variable, and a fourth arrangement for carrying out at least engine interventions for influencing the propulsion as a function of the intervention variable.
