Abstract

Device and method are described for operating a vehicle using a vehicle controller to individually adjust braking forces of the wheels of at least one axle of the vehicle and using a yawing moment compensator to at least partially compensate for a yawing moment of the vehicle resulting from different braking forces of individual wheels of at least one axle by intervening in a steering of the vehicle, the action of the yawing moment compensator on the steering not being performed or only to a lesser degree while the vehicle controller is adjusting braking forces.
