DETECTION OF YAW INSTABILITIES IN VEHICLE COMBINATIONS
DETECTION OF YAW INSTABILITIES IN VEHICLE COMBINATIONS
A method detects a yaw instability in a vehicle combination. The vehicle combination has a tractor unit and at least one trailing unit. The method includes determining a current value of a sideslip angle parameter of at least one unit of the vehicle combination, comparing the current value of the sideslip angle parameter to a threshold, and if the current value of the sideslip angle parameter is beyond the threshold, determining that a yaw instability is present in the vehicle combination.
