A method for improving side roll, initially based on a conceivably unfavorable motor vehicle load to indicate a stability-critical transversal acceleration or related variable when the vehicle begins to travel. By observing the motor vehicle during travel, information on real mass distribution can be obtained. Whenever there is a danger of tilting during cornering, braking occurs in at least the front wheel that is located towards the outside of the bend, resulting in a reduction of lateral forces and transversal acceleration. An additional active motor vehicle suspension can also be provided.

Method for improving tilt stability in a motor vehicle

A method for limiting the transverse acceleration of a traveling vehicle consisting of the steps: detection of a driving condition with a critical transverse acceleration, influencing the braking pressure on at least one wheel, and/or influencing the driving torque when the driving condition having a critical transverse acceleration has been detected. A device for limiting the transverse acceleration of a traveling vehicle has a detection device for detecting a driving condition with a critical transverse acceleration, and an influencing device for influencing the braking pressure on at least one wheel and/or for influencing the driving torque when the detection device has detected a driving condition with a critical transverse acceleration.
