A safety device for motor vehicles includes an impact detection system and a triggering device for triggering a braking operation as a function of a signal of the impact detection system characterized in that the triggering device is designed for the purpose of triggering the braking operation when the impact detection system indicates the beginning of an impact.

Safety device for motor vehicles

A method and a device for controlling automatic emergency braking of a motor vehicle to reduce the severity of a collision of a vehicle with an object, the position and/or speed of the object with respect to the host vehicle being determined via an object detection device, and this information being sent to a collision detection device which ascertains whether a collision with an object is imminent and, on detecting a collision, triggers emergency braking and ascertains a collision instant, emergency braking being terminated after the period of time until the determined collision instant has elapsed.

Method and device for controlling automatic emergency braking

A method for triggering a reversible occupant safety function in a motor vehicle, in which the value of a triggering parameter is determined, the value of the triggering parameter is compared with a predetermined threshold value, and the occupant protection function is triggered when the predetermined threshold value is exceeded by the value of the triggering parameter. An aspect of the method is that the threshold value is influenced by a driving style parameter determined by analysis of the brake and/or gas pedal operating procedures and/or by an operating element operable by the driver.

A driver assistance system includes a position finding system () for locating objects in the surroundings of a vehicle and at least one assistance function, as well as a device for recognizing special situations by recognizing a characteristic signature in at least one distribution of position finding data in a set of located objects.

Driver assistance system having a device for detecting special situations

A method and a device for warning the driver of a motor vehicle. An object detector is provided, which detects preceding vehicles and ascertains their distance and relative velocity with respect to the host vehicle and supplies these to an evaluation device. The evaluation device assumes that the preceding vehicle would perform a deceleration and ascertains as a further function of the variables measured by the object detector and the driver's reaction time and the host vehicle's maximum possible deceleration whether a collision with the preceding vehicle would be avoidable. If an unavoidability of a collision is recognized, then a driver warning device is activated.

Method and device for warning the driver of a motor vehicle

A method and a device for warning the driver of a motor vehicle about a traffic situation involving an increased collision risk are provided. For this purpose, signals of at least one object detector representing motion quantities of detected objects and signals of at least one motion sensor system of the host vehicle are suppliable to an analyzer device. The computing device precalculates all possible motion trajectories for all detected objects and for the host vehicle, taking into account maximum acceleration or deceleration values and maximum change in acceleration or deceleration values over time and, when an imminent collision is recognized, issues a warning to the driver that higher acceleration or deceleration values and/or change in acceleration or deceleration values are needed to avoid a collision.

A radar system for motor vehicles, having an antenna, a first processor which is developed to transform signals supplied by the antenna via a primary signal path into a spectrum, and a second processor for the additional evaluation of the spectrum, wherein at least a part of the signals received by the antenna is able to be supplied to the second processor via a redundant signal path while by-passing the first processor, and the second processor, on its part, is designed to transform these signals into a spectrum.
