Abstract
A swerve assist to assist the driver of a transportation vehicle during an avoidance maneuver so that a collision with an obstacle is avoided. An additional steering torque for amplifying a current steering torque is applied when an avoidance maneuver of the transportation vehicle is detected. A single-wheel braking of the transportation vehicle is actuated to increase a transverse offset of the transportation vehicle.
