A driver assistance system and a method for operating this driver assistance system, where signals of at least one surround sensor provided on the vehicle are evaluated, and if the evaluation reveals an increased probability of a collision with a detected object, emergency braking is automatically triggered and carried out, and in the event of an increased probability of a collision with a detected object, which lies above a second threshold value, the current vehicle position is stored, or the vehicle position within a predefined period of time after exceedance of the second threshold value is stored, and in the event of traveling through the spatial area about the vehicle position again, the stored information is taken into account for the triggering or the preparation of a warning of danger or emergency braking.

Driver assistance system for a motor vehicle

A method for recognizing directional structures on a window pane of a vehicle is described. The method includes carrying out an assessment of image points of an image of the window pane, which image points are disposed along an evaluation path, a course of the evaluation path being dependent on an expected orientation of the directional structures on the window pane. The method further includes recognizing a directional structure based on the assessment.

A method and device for assisting in driving a vehicle, particularly a motor vehicle, having a surroundings detector for detecting at least a partial area of the surroundings of the vehicle, an output device for the output of information concerning the vehicle surroundings obtained from the surroundings detection to a driver, and an evaluation unit for determining a risk level based on the vehicle-surroundings information. To facilitate driving of the vehicle, it is provided that at least a portion of the vehicle-surroundings information provided for determining the risk level, and the risk level determined by the evaluation unit are output continuously by the output device to the driver during operation of the vehicle.

Method and device for assisting in driving a vehicle

In a parking apparatus for a vehicle, a parking space is measured and a parking trajectory into the parking space is determined by using this apparatus. A driving space for the vehicle is captured by a camera, both the parking trajectory and a turning point situated on the parking trajectory being superimposed on the camera image.

Parking apparatus

A method and a device for automatic triggering of deceleration of a vehicle for preventing a collision, which is accomplished by the fact that a variable, which represents a probability of collision with another vehicle, must exceed a predefinable threshold value, and the threshold value is variable as a function of the driver's response, the current driving situation, or the ambient situation. To determine the change in the threshold value, signals from a steering angle sensor, a brake pedal sensor, an accelerator pedal sensor, a device for determining the speed of the vehicle, a device for determining the uphill or downhill slope of the road, a device for determining the vehicle yaw rate, a device for determining the vehicle float angle or a device for detecting stationary and moving objects in the vicinity of the vehicle, in particular in the area in front of the vehicle, are analyzed.

Method and device for automatically triggering a vehicle deceleration

The invention relates to an apparatus for assisting a parking-space entry operation of a vehicle, comprising a back-up camera for acquiring a back-up image reproducing the space behind the vehicle, and comprising a screen for displaying the back-up image, a decision mark for a first steering input of the parking-space entry operation, which mark is to be brought into coincidence with at least a part of a boundary of a parking space, being depictable on the screen in superimposition with the back-up image. To assist entry into tight parking spaces, it is proposed that multiple decision marks for the first steering input be depictable simultaneously on the screen, which marks correspond respectively to a different minimum number of turns to be performed for the parking-space entry operation.

Apparatus for assisting a parking-space entry operation of a vehicle

In a method and a device for predicting movement trajectories of a vehicle to prevent or reduce the consequences of an imminent collision, in which for predicting the movement trajectories, only those trajectories are considered for which, because of a combination of steering intervention and braking intervention, the forces occurring at the wheels of the vehicle are within the range corresponding to the maximum force transferable from the wheel to the road. Particularly for systems which provide an automatic braking and/or steering intervention for avoiding a collision or reducing the severity of a crash with another object, an automatic braking and/or steering intervention is carried out as a function of the pre-calculated movement trajectories.

A speed controller for motor vehicles having an input device for the input of a desired speed Vby the driver, and having a plurality of operating modes which are able to be activated in different speed ranges and differ in their functional scope. A change in the operating mode, which results in the loss of a safety-relevant function, is provided or enabled by a command of the driver, characterized by a decision unit, which, in the light of predefined criteria, determines whether a change in the desired speed V, which is input by the driver, is to be interpreted as a command for changing the operating mode.

Speed controller having several operating modes

An object detection system, in particular for a motor vehicle, has multiple object detectors and/or operating modes with which different detection ranges and/or detection zones are detected. In this case, an object detector is preferably a radar sensor which has a relatively large detection range with a relatively small angular detection zone in a first operating mode and has a detection range that is small relative to the first with an enlarged angular detection zone in a second operating mode.
