A method includes receiving sensor data which have been generated by a sensor system, in a control module of a vehicle computer; inputting the sensor data into a safety algorithm to detect safety-relevant objects; inputting the sensor data into a comfort algorithm to detect comfort-relevant objects; estimating future states of the objects using an environment model which represents the environment of the vehicle and in which the objects are stored and tracked over time; calculating a safety trajectory taking into account safety rules and a comfort trajectory taking into account comfort rules based on the estimated future states of the detected objects; using the comfort trajectory to control the vehicle if the comfort trajectory satisfies the safety rules; and using the safety trajectory to control the vehicle if the comfort trajectory does not satisfy the safety rules.

Method for determining a trajectory for controlling a vehicle

A method for assisting a driver during the deactivation of a highly automated driving mode of a vehicle. In this context, a takeover signal, which represents a takeover of control of the vehicle by the driver, and auxiliary information are read in. The auxiliary information includes image information representing the driver and/or vehicle-control information representing a control of the vehicle by the driver. In a further step, a degree of attentiveness of the driver is determined, using the takeover signal and the auxiliary information. Finally, using the degree of attentiveness, an assistance signal is output to assist the driver during the takeover of control, by activating at least one driver-assistance function of the vehicle.

An evasion and brake-assist system for motor vehicles, having a sensory system for sensing the traffic environment of the vehicle, an actuator system for interventions in a steering system and a brake system of the vehicle, and having an electronic control device in which an emergency evasion function is implemented that checks whether an emergency evasive maneuver is necessary based on the data supplied by the sensory system and then acts on the dynamics of the vehicle via the actuator system to assist the vehicle driver in initiating and/or executing the emergency evasive maneuver, characterized in that in the first phase of an evasive maneuver, the emergency evasion function intervenes exclusively in the transverse dynamics, and only after this phase, decides whether an intervention in the longitudinal dynamics will also take place.

A method for setting up a movement model of a road user includes reading in a current movement vector of the road user, averaging movement vectors read in over of period of time to obtain a characteristic movement value of the road user for the period of time, and ascertaining a movement model using the movement value.

A method for guiding a vehicle in the surrounding environment of an object. The method includes reading in a multiplicity of view ray endpoints in a three-dimensional image, produced by a stereo camera of the vehicle, of a surrounding environment, containing the object, of the vehicle, at least one of the view ray endpoints representing an outer surface of the object, connecting the multiplicity of view ray endpoints to form a polygon that represents a free surface to be traveled by the vehicle, and generating a driving corridor, provided for the vehicle, for driving around the object, based on the free surface.

Method and apparatus for guiding a vehicle in the surroundings of an object

A method is provided for ascertaining a source of danger on a travel route, during the travel of a vehicle along the travel route, a vehicle parameter being measured and compared to a vehicle parameter threshold value; as a function of the comparison, danger data including the measured vehicle parameter and a vehicle location assigned to the measurement being formed for the information that a danger source has been formed at the vehicle location assigned to the measurement. A corresponding device as well as a corresponding computer program are also provided.

In a method for ascertaining the stress level of the driver, the setpoint trajectory of the vehicle is ascertained and compared to the actual trajectory. A higher stress level is inferred from an increasing frequency and/or magnitude of the deviation of the actual trajectory from the setpoint trajectory.

Method for ascertaining the stress level of the driver

A method for assisting a vehicle driver in a bottleneck, including the tasks of reading in, evaluating, and providing. In the reading in, a piece of information about a negotiable corridor in the bottleneck, a piece of information about an instantaneous trajectory of the vehicle in the bottleneck, and a piece of information about a steering torque which is presently applied by the driver to a steering of the vehicle are read in. In the evaluating, the pieces of information about the corridor, the trajectory, and the steering torque are evaluated by using known dimensions of the vehicle to recognize an anticipated violation of the corridor by at least one part of the vehicle. In the providing, a control signal is provided for a counter torque which acts against the steering torque when the violation is recognized to assist the driver with avoiding the violation.

A method for determining a driving maneuver for a motor vehicle includes the steps of ascertaining an imminent accident with an external object, ascertaining characteristic variables for accident damages in different driving maneuvers and determining the driving maneuver whose characteristic variable is indicative of the least accident damage.

Collision avoidance for a motor vehicle

A diagnostic method for a vehicle component of a vehicle, an operating parameter of the vehicle component being detected during an operation of the vehicle and a status message corresponding to a status of the vehicle component being transmitted to a vehicle-external server as a function of the detected operating parameter for an analysis of the status message, a message based on the analysis of the status message being transmitted to a receiving device. The invention furthermore relates to a corresponding diagnostic device, a corresponding diagnostic system, as well as a computer program is also described.

Diagnostic method and diagnostic device for a vehicle component of a vehicle

A method for influencing the lateral dynamics of a vehicle in an evasive maneuver with the aid of a vehicle controller which controls the sideslip angle and/or the yaw rate of the vehicle, and which triggers an automatic control action when a predefined threshold value is exceeded. The driving situation is monitored with regard to an obstacle, and different interventions are carried out depending on the classification of the situation. This optimizes the interventions with regard to stability and comfort, so that an optimal behavior of the vehicle is achieved in all driving situations.
