A method for operating a single-track or multi-track vehicle including a driver-assistance system. In the method, a speed of the vehicle and a distance of the vehicle from a vehicle in front are controlled. The speed is controlled within a system-related speed range of the driver-assistance system using a position of an operating element of the vehicle and is controlled up to an optional target speed that is selectable within the speed range. Before an upper limit of the speed range is exceeded, a warning signal is provided to a driver of the vehicle. The distance is controlled within the speed range in a speed-dependent distance buffer region depending on the position.

Method and driver-assistance system for operating a single-track or multi-track vehicle

A method for selecting the target object for an automatic distance control of a single-track motor vehicle. The presence of a second single-track motor vehicle preceding directly in the same lane and a third single-track motor vehicle preceding directly the second single-track motor vehicle are detected with the aid of a surroundings sensor system. The lateral offset of the second single-track motor vehicle and of the third single-track motor vehicle are ascertained with regard to the single-track motor vehicle. The target object being selected for the method for distance control as a function of at least one of the lateral offsets.

A method for carrying out a distance-regulating or speed-regulating function for a single-track motor vehicle. An activated distance-regulating or speed-regulating function can be deactivated by the driver through actuation of a brake operating element, if the actuation intensity of the brake operating element exceeds a first threshold value. The presence of a collision risk is ascertained by an environmental sensor system. When there is a risk of collision, an emergency braking assistance function is activated through the actuation of the brake operating element by the driver with an actuation intensity exceeding a second threshold value. The second threshold value is lower than the first threshold value. The activated distance-regulating or speed-regulating function is continued independently of the driver after the termination of the emergency braking assistance function, with the settings that were present before the activation of the emergency braking assistance function.

A loudspeaker containing a sound-generating element and a grill mounted as a cover in front of the sound-generating element. The grill has optically transparent areas. At least one lighting element is mounted between the sound-generating element and the grill, the lighting element being visible from the outside through the optically transparent areas of the grill when illuminated.

A method for operating a motor vehicle, in particular a motorcycle, in which a driving maneuver, which includes a lane change and/or a passing maneuver, is carried out in an at least partially automated manner. The acceleration dynamics of the motor vehicle are adjusted as a function of the relative speed of at least one other motor vehicle, for example of a motor vehicle preceding and/or approaching from behind, as the driving maneuver is carried out.

Method for operating a motor vehicle, in particular a motorcycle, computer program

A motorcycle, including method and control unit for controlling an active steering influence system, which is for actively influencing steering motions on a front wheel. A driver assistance system is for effectuating, with control instructions to components of the motorcycle, longitudinal accelerations. The driver assistance and active steering influence systems are for a signal communication with each other, e.g., via lines. The driver assistance system is for outputting, before/while outputting a control instruction, a signal instruction to the active steering influence system so that the active steering influence system, via an active modification of its state, counters a change of a movement direction, which is associated with the longitudinal acceleration to be effectuated with the control instruction. Accordingly, driving comfort or safety while riding is improve-able, in that, for example, fishtailing or wobbling motions, which are unexpected and are initiated by interventions of driver assistance system, are largely prevented.

In a method for automatically adjusting the speed of a motorcycle as a function of the longitudinal distance as well as the lateral distance of a motorcycle from a preceding other vehicle, a minimum lateral distance to be maintained is determined as a function of the type of the other vehicle.

Method for automatically adjusting the speed of a motorcycle

A method for switching over from a first driver assistance function to a second driver assistance function in a two-wheeled vehicle; one of the driver assistance functions being an adaptive distance and speed control function, and the other driver assistance function being a cruise control function; the switchover being accomplished by uninterrupted manipulation of an actuating element by the driver over a time interval of predefined length.
