The invention relates to a method for operating at least one ultrasonic sensor () of a driver assistance system () in a motor vehicle (), wherein an output sound signal (S) of the ultrasonic sensor () is modulated in accordance with a type of modulation and by means of this modulation, a specific codeword is impressed on the output sound signal (S). For at least two mutually different functionalities (to) of the driver assistance system (), different types of modulation are in each case used for the modulation of the output sound signal (S) and/or in each case different lengths of the codeword.

The invention relates to an interface device () for an electronic sensor system () comprising a plurality of sensors () and a processing unit () for controlling the sensors () and/or analyzing sensor data obtained by the sensors (), where the sensors () can be connected to the processing unit () via the interface device (). According to the invention, the interface device () is able to accommodate simultaneously at least two sensor interface units () for connecting to the sensors (), where each sensor interface unit () can be selected from a plurality of sensor interface units, which differ at least by a different number of sensor channels.

Interface device with integrated sensor interface units for an electronic sensor system

The present disclosure relates to an ultrasonic sensor used, for example, in the form of an ultrasonic vehicle parking aid provided with a sensor having an ultrasonic membrane and optionally a board provided with mounted required electronics and a coupling for an electric plug-in connection which are arranged therein, wherein said coupling is placed on a separate coupling housing and the sensor housing is combinable with different coupling housings.

Modular ultrasonic sensor

The invention relates to a method for operating a parking assistance system for a vehicle, comprising at least one distance sensor that detects at least sections of the lateral immediate vicinity of the vehicle and at least one path sensor that detects the path travelled by the vehicle. According to the method, a control device determines the length and/or width of a parking space from the values measured by the sensors as the vehicle drives past said parking space. The invention is characterised in that the measured length and/or width of the parking space is/are corrected by a correction value and/or that depending on the speed of the vehicle as it drives past the parking space, the measurement is taken by means of the distance sensor at different time intervals.

Parking assistance system for vehicles and corresponding method

The invention concerns an ultrasound parking aid system which emits warning signals when an echo signal lying within an audibility window exceeds a given threshold value. Hitherto, an audibility window or the sensitivity of the system was adapted to fixed data of the vehicle and/or the roadway. According to the invention, the sensitivity, audibility window or even the emission response is adapted as a function of varying dynamic data of the vehicle or roadway.
