Abstract
The present device relates to a driving dynamics control system for vehicles, including at least one signal distribution to which vehicle data, environment data and data regarding the driver's request are sent in the form of input data, and including several controllable or regulatable subsystems which modify the dynamics of the vehicle such as a driver-independently adjustable steering system, a driver-independently adjustable chassis, a driver-independently adjustable brake, and a driver-independently adjustable driving track. The system is characterized in that the data of the signal distribution is sent to a central determining unit (driving condition detection, driver request detection), in that the central determining unit determines from the data of the signal distribution a central control target, and these items of data regarding the central control target are sent to a central regulating variable distribution or a central driving condition controller, respectively, which, in an interactive communication with the subsystems, actuates these subsystems in such a way that the control target is realized by the subsystems on the vehicle.
