Abstract

A vehicle includes a sensor device monitoring at least one collision region that is located in the surroundings of the vehicle for sensing at least one object that enters and/or is present in a possible collision region during motion of the vehicle; an electromechanical brake booster and braking force-regulating components coupled thereto, which are operationally integrated into a vehicle braking system for decelerating the vehicle; and a control device that receives signals from the sensor device and, on the basis of those signals, controls the brake booster and the braking force-regulating components and/or further active chassis components. A method for avoiding a collision between the vehicle and the at least one object includes, upon sensing the at least one object, modifying a driving speed and/or driving direction of the vehicle, with the aid of the control device in combination with the braking system and the braking force-regulating components.
