Abstract
A process for controlling the driving stability of a vehicle is provided. To avoid complicated models for determining the desired value of a variable characteristic of the travel behavior, which variable usually must be calculated by an expensive calculation circuit, a controlled variable is selected, which directly describes the driving stability and is compared with an actual value, which can be calculated in a relatively simple manner. An advantageous embodiment describes comparing an actual value of the variable, which can be determined in a simple manner, with a desired value. The range of tolerance of the variable is set directly by the driving stability limits. Advantageous variants pertain to the suitable scheme of calculation and the selection of a suitable range of tolerance.
