Abstract
The invention relates to a method of reducing or preventing lateral oscillations of at least one connected vehicle unit of a vehicle combination, the method comprising providing one or more parameters associated with a setup of the vehicle combination; determining, based on the one or more parameters, one or more critical frequencies having critical rearward amplification of a motion variable between the leading vehicle unit and the at least one connected vehicle unit; monitoring a steering input to the leading vehicle unit; determining whether the steering input excites any of the one or more critical frequencies; and automatically triggering a countermeasure for reducing or preventing lateral oscillations of the at least one connected vehicle unit upon determining that the steering input excites any of the one or more critical frequencies.
