Abstract
A detection device for detecting braking of a vehicle during cornering on a road surface where the coefficient of friction of the road surface on a wheel on the outside of a curve is lower than on a wheel on the inside of the curve includes a comparison device for comparing the brake force or the brake force reduction of at least one wheel on the outside of a curve with the brake force or the brake force reduction of at least one wheel on the inside of the curve, and a device for generating a detection signal or initiating appropriate measures when the brake force of at least one wheel on the outside of a curve is lower or reduced to a greater degree than the brake force of at least one wheel on the inside of the curve. A device for influencing yaw torques has a so-called detection device and a reduction device which reduces the brake force in a brake of a wheel on the inside of a curve.
