A method is for operating a vehicle which has actuators for influencing a driving behavior of the vehicle. The method includes sensing a setpoint for the driving behavior, in particular a steering angle set by a driver, and depending on the setpoint for the driving behavior, a first pilot control variable is determined using a model for the vehicle. Depending on the first pilot control variable, a second pilot control variable is determined using at least two partial models for the driving behavior of the vehicle, which differ due to the use of at least one of the actuators. Depending on the first pilot control variable and depending on the second pilot variable, a first setpoint for a first actuator is determined. The first setpoint is output in order to actuate the first actuator.

Method and device for operating a vehicle

A method is provided for the detection of a critical snaking motion of a trailer of a vehicle combination, in which a setpoint yaw rate of the trailer is ascertained from the transverse acceleration of the trailer and the longitudinal speed of the vehicle combination, the actual yaw rate of the trailer is ascertained using a yaw rate sensor, and by a comparison of the curve over time of the setpoint yaw rate and the actual yaw rate, the presence of a critical snaking motion of the trailer is ascertained.

A method and a device are provided for stabilizing a vehicle combination made up of a tractor vehicle and a trailer in case of fishtailing motions, in which&#x2014;the presence of a fishtailing motion of the tractor vehicle is detected,&#x2014;after the exceeding of a first threshold value by the amplitude of an oscillating fishtailing variable characterizing the fishtailing motion, a driver-independent steering intervention in the steering actuator system of the tractor vehicle takes place and&#x2014;after the exceeding of a second threshold value by the amplitude of the fishtailing variable, a driver-independent braking intervention in the brake actuator system of the tractor vehicle takes place,&#x2014;the second threshold value being selected to be greater than the first threshold value.

In a method for operating a vehicle which has a first axle, a second axle, a unit for determining slipping of at least one wheel of the second axle on a ground surface, and a braking device associated with the wheel, a drive torque is applied to the first axle and the second axle via a central differential, and, in the event of slipping of the wheel, a braking torque required to prevent the slipping being determined. A setpoint braking torque is set on the braking device, which is less than the required braking torque, and the part of the drive torque supplied to the first axle is increased.
