An emergency maneuver control system includes a path planning control device, which is designed to determine an emergency maneuver trajectory in a highly automated or autonomous operating mode of the vehicle; a longitudinal guidance actuator control device which is coupled to the path planning control device and is designed to provide longitudinal guidance control commands derived from the emergency maneuver trajectory and, in the event of an emergency maneuver situation, to cause the at least one longitudinal guidance actuator to execute the longitudinal guidance control commands; and a transverse guidance actuator control device which is coupled to the path planning control device and is designed to provide transverse guidance control commands derived from the emergency maneuver trajectory and, in the event of an emergency maneuver situation, to cause the at least one transverse guidance actuator to execute the transverse guidance control commands.

Emergency maneuver control system and emergency maneuver control method for a vehicle

The invention relates to the controlling of functions of an information and communication system in a vehicle by means of physical keys. A control unit for an information and communication system of a vehicle is equipped for receiving a sequence of sensor signals of different proximity sensors of corresponding different mechanical function keys, to which corresponding first functions are assigned. The control unit is further equipped for detecting a swiping event over the mechanical function keys, wherein a swiping event comprises the fact that the sequence of sensor signals corresponds to the sensor signals of proximity sensors of corresponding adjacent mechanical function keys. The control unit is further equipped for assigning corresponding second functions to the mechanical function keys when a swiping event is detected.
