Abstract
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.
