  • Patent number: 11001253
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for maneuvering a motor vehicle (1), in which the motor vehicle (1) is manoeuvred within a determined driving tube (15), during the maneuvering a position of at least one object (8, 9) in a surrounding area (7) of the motor vehicle (1) is continuously determined by means of a control unit (3) on the basis of sensor data of at least one sensor (4) of the motor vehicle (1), which sensor (4) has a predetermined detection range (10), and if the at least one object (8, 9) is located outside the detection range (10) of the at least one sensor (4), the position of the at least one object (8, 9) is estimated, wherein a sensing position is determined by means of the control unit (3), and the motor vehicle (1) is moved to the sensing position if the at least one object (8, 9) is located outside the detection range (10), wherein the sensing position is determined in such a way that the estimated position of the at least one object (8, 9) is located within the detection range (10) if the

  • Patent number: 10974721
    Abstract: A method is described for avoiding a collision of a motor vehicle with an object. A relative position between the motor vehicle and the object is determined. Depending on the relative position between the motor vehicle and the object, at least one collision avoidance measure is determined. A maximum specifiable steering angle range is determined. Within the maximum specifiable steering angle range, a blocked steering angle range, for which the collision with the object is threatened and preventable, and a warning steering angle range, for which no collision with the object is threatened and which is adjacent to the blocked steering angle range, are determined on the basis of the relative position between the motor vehicle and the object. A first collision avoidance measure for the blocked steering angle range and a second collision avoidance measure for the warning steering angle range are determined.

    Abstract: A method is described for avoiding a collision of a motor vehicle (1) with an object (8), in which the object (8) is detected in an environment (7) of the motor vehicle (1), a relative position between the motor vehicle (1) and (8) and the object is determined and depending on the relative position between the motor vehicle (1) and the object (8) at least one collision avoidance measure is determined, wherein a maximum specifiable steering angle range (rm) is determined, in which maximum specifiable steering angle range (rm) a blocked steering angle range (rb), for which the collision with the object (8) is threatened and preventable, and a warning steering angle range (rw), for which no collision with the object (8) is threatened and which is adjacent to the blocked steering angle range (rb), are determined on the basis of the relative position between the motor vehicle (1) and the object (8), a first collision avoidance measure for the blocked steering angle range (rb) and a second collision avoidance measu
