A side wind assistant for a vehicle and a method for the operation of the side wind assistant involve detecting a side wind disturbance acting on the vehicle and reacting to the side wind disturbance by carrying out a side wind compensation intervention to at least partially compensate for the influence of the side wind disturbance, at least when an intervention threshold has been exceeded. The side wind assistant thus reacts to the side wind disturbance in a frequency selective manner in which the frequency selectivity is controlled depending on the side wind compensation or a state of the side wind assistant correlating with the side wind compensation intervention. In particular, the frequency selectivity is controlled depending on whether the side wind compensation intervention is carried out or not carried out, and depending on the duration of the side wind compensation intervention.

Method for operating a side wind assistant for a vehicle and side wind assistant for a vehicle

An apparatus for determining crosswind effects on motor vehicles has arranged on the vehicle two differential pressure sensors which are each connected via two conduits to two openings at the outside of the vehicle and record the pressure difference which occurs between the connected conduits or the associated openings. From this, it is possible for the angle of incidence and the dynamic pressure of the crosswind to be determined by a computer.

Apparatus for determining crosswind effects on vehicles

At a vehicle, pressure probes are arranged, which generate signals from which differences and differential quotients are formed. As a result, quantities may be generated by a computer which reflect the angle of incidence as well as the ram pressure of the cross wind on the vehicle.
