Abstract
A driver assist arrangement includes a first yaw rate controller, a hazard evaluation unit, a driver intention evaluation unit, and a second yaw rate controller. The first yaw rate controller is configured to control a yaw rate of a vehicle hosting the arrangement by comparing an expected yaw rate with an actual yaw rate, and in response thereto selectively apply brakes of respective wheels of the host vehicle. The second yaw rate controller is configured to intervene in the control of the first yaw rate controller in case the evaluated risk of an accident is above a threshold value and occurrence of an avoidance maneuver initiated by the driver is detected. A vehicle including a driver assist arrangement and a method of assisting a driver of a vehicle are also provided.
