A system for vehicle driver support carrying out assist functions in a motor vehicle for supporting the driver in stopping and starting maneuvers, which are activated depending on a first comparison between at least one driving state parameter and a threshold value and/or based on first actuating signals from an actuating unit operable by the driver. A control unit determines a vehicle state by way of another comparison of at least one driving state variable with a predetermined threshold value and/or based on additional actuating signals of the actuating unit, in that the control unit checks whether at least one assist function is activated, and in that the control unit controls the brake system of the vehicle depending on the detected vehicle state when at least one assist function is activated.

System for vehicle driver support for stopping and starting procedures

In a method and a device for assisting a vehicle to start on a slope, a vehicle brake torque is changed corresponding to an estimated vehicle driving torque in consideration of a downgrade torque. The method is executed with the following steps of determining a vehicle driving torque reference value, comparing the reference value with the estimated vehicle driving torque, and influencing the brake torque in accordance with the comparison result (FIG.).
