Abstract
A method for stabilizing a vehicle combination composed of a towing vehicle and a trailer or semitrailer, in which when a snaking motion of the trailer or semitrailer is detected, braking interventions are implemented for damping the snaking motion, in which symmetrical braking interventions are implemented first, and asymmetrical braking interventions are implemented if the desired subsidence behavior of the snaking motion is not achieved through the symmetrical braking interventions.
