Abstract

A device for stabilizing a vehicle after a collision, including a control device having a regulation algorithm, a sensor system for recording various quantities that describe the vehicle state, and an actuator for carrying out a stabilization intervention. The driving state of the vehicle is monitored for the occurrence of a collision, a setpoint value is calculated for a vehicle movement quantity, the setpoint value being at least partly independent of the steering instruction of the driver, and the vehicle movement quantity of the vehicle is regulated to this setpoint value in the case of a collision.
