Abstract: A method and a device for operating an assistance system of a vehicle involves detecting laterally static and laterally dynamic objects, which the vehicle is to drive past, as lateral boundary objects. A respective lateral distance of the vehicle from the respective lateral boundary object is detected. A speed of the respective laterally dynamic object is determined and at least the respectively laterally dynamic object is classified according to its type. A set of characteristic curves is stored in a control unit of the vehicle, the characteristic curves of the set being assigned in each case to an environmental situation predetermined depending on lateral boundary objects. It is predetermined by a respective characteristic curve for the respective environmental situation at what maximum speed the vehicle is to drive past a lateral boundary object at different lateral distances from the latter.

Abstract: A method for planning a target trajectory for an autonomously operated vehicle to be travelled along involves determining a discrete set of trajectories as candidates for the target trajectory. Each of the trajectories is composed of a plurality of trajectory sections arranged in a row. The planning is based on a selection of one of the trajectories as a target trajectory. The selection is based on evaluation of the trajectories together with predefined cost functions and an identification of the trajectory evaluated as being the most cost effective. An array of sub-trajectories, each having the same location specifications and different dynamics specifications, is associated with each trajectory section, and costs in accordance with the predefined cost functions are associated with the sub-trajectories.

Abstract: A method for operating an assistance system for automated driving operation of a vehicle involves continuously determining an emergency trajectory along which the vehicle is brought to a standstill in a longitudinally and transversely controlled manner after activation of an emergency operation of the vehicle. In the event of an imminent or already initiated lane change of the vehicle from a starting lane to a target lane according to a determined standard trajectory, a decision is made as to whether the vehicle should be brought to a standstill in the starting lane or in the target lane when emergency operation is activated. This decision depends on the position of the vehicle on the standard trajectory.
