Abstract

A method for steering a motor vehicle in a collision avoidance maneuver ahead of an object in the front or lateral surroundings of the motor vehicle. It is arranged that a linear control method is employed, in which case one controller output signal (δLLM1; . . . ; δLLMN) each is determined in at least two linear controller modules depending on a deviation (e) between an actual position of the motor vehicle and a nominal position that is predetermined due to the avoiding path. The controller output signals (δLLM1; . . . ; δLLMN) are weighted with respectively one weighting factor (Φ1; . . . ; ΦN) that is established depending on the vehicle speed (v), and a steering angle of steerable wheels of the motor vehicle is established based on an arbitration of the weighted controller output signals. Furthermore, a device which is suitable to implement the method is provided.
