A method for calibrating an internal sensor in a vehicle with an external sensor which is designed to detect external positional data dependent on a position of the vehicle. The method includes: detecting the external positional data using the external sensor; sending the external positional data to the vehicle and filtering the internal positional data based on the external positional data and dependent on the position of the vehicle and by an internal sensor.

Sensor calibration in a parking facility

A method in which the driving behavior of a vehicle is influenced depending on surroundings data in order to support an evasive maneuver as soon as a risk of collision is detected using the data from surroundings sensors and vehicle sensors. The vehicle has an electronically regulated braking system which allows a driver-independent build-up and a modulation of the braking forces on the individual wheels of the vehicle, and a steering input by the drive is supported in the event of a detected risk of collision by a driver-independent braking intervention. A brake slip of at least one wheel of the vehicle is limited to a first slip threshold in a first phase of the evasive maneuver and to a second slip threshold in a second phase of the evasive maneuver, wherein the first slip threshold is smaller than the second slip threshold. The invention further relates to an electronic controller.

Method for regulating driving stability

A method for operating a vehicle braking system for motor vehicles including a hybrid or electric drive and hydraulically actutable wheel brakes on the front axle, wherein the wheels associated with the rear axle are driven at least partially by an electric motor that can be operated as a generator to recover braking energy and, in generator mode, exerts a braking force on the vehicle wheel associated with the respective axle, thereby generating a drag torque including the braking torque and the regeneration torque of the electric drive, the drag torque being separately regulatable on the front and rear axles. To prevent overbraking of the rear axle and a loss of driving stability of the vehicle, a regeneration torque acting on the rear axle is controlled or regulated such that the drag torque acting on the rear axle does not exceed a maximum drag torque value associated with that axle.
