On the basis of control loop components, it is explained which occurrences of accident- relevant driving manoeuvres can lead to road accidents. These manoeuvres are simulated with the aid of the vehicle dynamics program MEDYNA. In extreme situations, the variations in the vehicle parameters lead to an unstable behaviour, which as a rule precedes an accident, meaning that limit values and/or areas representing the criterion for study of an accident, or rather, of its avoidance, can be established.
