Abstract: A method for assisting a driver of a vehicle during a lane change, in which for this purpose, an activation signal which represents an activation of a turn signal of the vehicle, which faces a setpoint direction of travel, and a sensor signal which is provided by at least one sensor of the vehicle and which represents a steering movement for steering the vehicle and/or a change in position of the vehicle within a lane are read in. Using the activation signal and the sensor signal, a control signal for controlling a steering system of the vehicle is provided if the steering movement is counter to the setpoint direction of travel and/or the change in position represents a movement of the vehicle in a direction counter to the setpoint direction of travel.

Abstract: A method and a control unit for monitoring the lane of a vehicle, including the steps of ascertaining at least one lane characteristic, ascertaining at least one driving situation variable representing the instantaneous driving situation of the vehicle in an instantaneous position, as well as ascertaining at least one approach variable in a subsequent position of the vehicle. The approach variable is ascertained from the at least one lane characteristic, as well as from the at least one driving situation variable.

Abstract: A method for situation-related steering assistance in a lane keeping assistant for a vehicle includes: importing a collision signal; ascertaining a correction signal for adapting an intervention torque for the lane keeping assistant, in order to provide a situation-related steering assistance in the lane keeping assistant. The collision signal represents information about a risk of collision during a lane change, and the correction signal is ascertained using the collision signal.

Abstract: A method for compensating a steering wheel angle signal, which is subject to an offset, in a vehicle, includes: a filtering step; and a use step. In the filtering step, the steering wheel angle signal is filtered while the vehicle is traveling, using a filtering rule, in order to obtain a mean value of the steering wheel angle signal. The steering wheel angle signal is filtered if a lane and/or a roadway of the vehicle meets predetermined criteria. In the use step, the mean value is used to compensate the offset.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method (40) for monitoring a torque of an electric motor (10), in particular for application in a motor vehicle, wherein the electric motor (10) is supplied with electric current (IS1, IS2, IS3) in multiple phases. A first torque value (M2) of the torque generated by the electric motor (10) is determined (58) on the basis of the electric output of the electric motor (10) and a detected rotational speed (n) of a rotor of the electric motor (10). A second torque value (M1) is determined on the basis of at least one measured phase current (IS1, IS2, IS3) and a rotational position of the rotor, and the two determined torque values (M1, M2) are compared (60) to one another for plausibility checking.

Abstract: In a method for operating a tank device of a motor vehicle having a tank and a valve which is adjustable by a driver stage connected to an energy supply, the valve is closed in response to an ascertained fault. Based on the fault, two output signals are formed for closing the valve: one of the output signals represents a relay signal and interrupts the energy supply to the driver stage.
