The invention relates to a sensor assembly for recognizing a state of a roadway, including a sensor device, which is adapted to capture an impact of water on a wheel arch lining of a motor vehicle during a travel of the motor vehicle on the roadway, and including a control device for recognizing the state of the roadway based on the impact of the water captured by means of the sensor device, wherein the sensor device includes an ultrasonic sensor, which is adapted to receive an ultrasonic signal and which is additionally adapted to capture the impact of the water on the wheel arch lining.

Sensor arrangement for detecting a state of a roadway using an ultrasonic sensor, a driver assistance system, a motor vehicle, and an associated method

The invention relates to an ultrasonic sensor device () for a motor vehicle, comprising an ultrasonic sensor (), which has a membrane () for emitting and/or receiving ultrasonic waves, and comprising a stiffening unit () for attachment to a trim element () of the motor vehicle and for stiffening the trim element (), wherein the stiffening unit () has a through-opening () for the membrane () of the ultrasonic sensor (), wherein the stiffening unit () is formed from at least two separate stiffening elements (to) for attachment to a trim element ().

Ultrasonic sensor device having a stiffening unit, assembly, motor vehicle, and method for producing an assembly

The invention relates to an ultrasonic sensor arrangement () for a motor vehicle (), comprising a trim element (), in particular a bumper, comprising a radiator grill (), and at least one first and one second ultrasonic sensor () each comprising a membrane () for emitting and/or receiving ultrasonic signals, wherein the first ultrasonic sensor () with its membrane () is arranged on a back side of the trim element () so that the membrane () of the first ultrasonic sensor () is configured for emitting and/or receiving ultrasonic sensor signals through the trim element () and the second ultrasonic sensor () is arranged on the radiator grill (). By detuning means () the second ultrasonic sensor () is detuned and hereby its emission and/or receiving behavior adapted to the emission and/or receiving behavior of the first ultrasonic sensor ().
