A method for controlling a safety device of a vehicle. The safety device reacts to an imminent collision by an intervention in a longitudinal and/or lateral guidance of the vehicle. The method includes reading in environment data and trip data regarding the collision object in an environment of the vehicle and the vehicle, and seat occupancy data regarding an occupancy state of at least one seat of the vehicle; ascertaining: an expected impingement side of the collision object on the vehicle; a velocity change of the vehicle in the context of the collision; and a seat occupancy distribution in the vehicle, using the seat occupancy data; executing an evaluation of the velocity change with regard to a threshold value and/or of the seat occupancy distribution relative to the expected impingement side; generating, depending on a result of the evaluation, a control signal for the safety device.

Method and apparatus for controlling a safety device of a vehicle, and safety system for a vehicle

A method for controlling a safety device of a vehicle. The safety device reacts to an imminent collision of the vehicle with a collision object by an intervention in a longitudinal and/or lateral guidance of the vehicle. The method includes reading in environment data and trip data regarding the collision object and the vehicle, and intervention data regarding the intervention of the safety device; ascertaining a first expected impingement point of the collision object on the vehicle using the environment data and the trip data, and a second expected impingement point of the collision object on the vehicle using the environment data, the trip data, and the intervention data; executing an evaluation of a location of the first expected impingement point and of a location of the second expected impingement point relative to subregions referred to the vehicle, using reference data; and generating a control signal for the safety device.

A method for controlling a safety device of a vehicle. The safety device reacts to an imminent collision of the vehicle with a collision object by an intervention in a longitudinal and/or lateral guidance of the vehicle. Environment data and trip data regarding the collision object and the vehicle, and intervention data regarding a planned intervention of the safety device, are read in. A first expected impingement point of the collision object on the vehicle is ascertained using the environment data and the trip data, and a second expected impingement point is ascertained using the environment data, the trip data, and the intervention data. A location of the first expected impingement point and of a location of the second expected impingement point relative to subregions referred to the vehicle are evaluated, using reference data. A control signal for the safety device is generated depending on a result of the evaluation.

Environment data and trip data regarding the collision object and the vehicle, and intervention data regarding a planned intervention of the safety device, are read in. First and second expected impingement points of the collision object on the vehicle are ascertained; an uncertainty value of the impingement points is ascertained; and a probability value for a location of at least one of the impingement points relative to subregions referred to the vehicle, is ascertained using the uncertainty value. An evaluation of a location of the impingement points relative to the subregions is executed using the at least one probability value and reference data. S control signal for controlling the safety device is generated depending on a result of the evaluation.

A method for controlling a safety device of a vehicle. The safety device reacts to an imminent collision of the vehicle with a collision object by way of an intervention in a longitudinal and/or lateral guidance of the vehicle. The method includes reading in environment data and trip data regarding the collision object and of the vehicle, and intervention data regarding a planned intervention of the safety device; ascertaining a first expected impingement region of the collision object on the vehicle, and a second expected impingement region of the collision object on the vehicle; executing an evaluation of a location of the first expected impingement region and of a location of the second expected impingement region relative to subregions referred to the vehicle, using reference data; generating, depending on a result of the evaluation, a control signal for the safety device.
