METHOD FOR PERFORMING AN EVASIVE MANOEUVRE WITH A UTILITY VEHICLE COMBINATION, AND EMERGENCY EVASION SYSTEM

A method for performing an evasive maneuver with a commercial vehicle-trailer combination includes ascertaining that a collision between the commercial vehicle-trailer combination and a collision object is impending. The method further includes determining an evasion trajectory by which the commercial vehicle-trailer combination can evade the collision object without coming into contact with the collision object, determining a desired steering angle based on the evasion trajectory and activating an active steering system of the commercial vehicle-trailer combination in dependence on the determined desired steering angle such that the commercial vehicle-trailer combination moves along the evasion trajectory from a starting traffic lane to a target traffic lane so as to perform the evasive maneuver. The method additionally includes determining a desired vehicle deceleration and initiating an electronic braking system of the commercial vehicle-trailer combination in dependence on the desired vehicle deceleration so as to brake the commercial vehicle-trailer combination.
