Abstract
A driving assistance system for a transportation vehicle, a corresponding transportation vehicle, and a corresponding operating method. The driving assistance system for supporting the longitudinal control of the transportation vehicle identifies an obstacle ahead of the transportation vehicle based on environment data. According to a first functionality, the driving assistance system causes emergency braking to bring the transportation vehicle to a standstill to avoid a collision. According to a second functionality, the driving assistance system causes a longitudinal control intervention that is reduced compared to the emergency braking to slow down the transportation vehicle once the obstacle is detected and before the transportation vehicle has approached the obstacle to such an extent that the collision is only prevented by emergency braking.
