Abstract

In a method for regulating the driving stability of a vehicle pressures for individual brakes of the vehicle are determined in dependence on several input quantities so that the driving stability is enhanced by brake interventions at individual wheels. To enhance the driving stability of a vehicle, it is determined during stable driving performance whether in view of a highly dynamic steering maneuver there is a tendency to a subsequent unstable driving performance, and in this case brake pre-intervention will occur already when the vehicle exhibits a stable driving performance.
