Summary:v,lim A method for determining an optimal steering angle in understeer situations of a vehicle is described. To assist a driver in reliably stabilizing the vehicle during an understeer situation while driving, a model-based driving traction coefficient factor, a model-based kinematic factor, and a float angle are taken into account in the determination of a steering angle. A limited steering angle δat which a maximum lateral force is set, is determined by addition of the driving traction coefficient factor, the kinematic factor, and the float angle. A system suitable for implementation of the method is also described.
