Abstract: A method and a device are for prediction and adaptation of movement trajectories of a vehicle for assisting the driver and/or for preventing or reducing the severity of a collision. Situatively required movement trajectories for assisting the driver or collision avoidance are determined using an environment sensor system. Physically possible movement trajectories are determined from characteristic properties of the driving dynamics of the vehicle and from the coefficient of friction between the tires and the road up to a maximum coefficient of friction. An intersection between the above two sets of trajectories is determined, and only trajectories that are included in this intersection are taken into account for the prediction and adaptation of movement trajectories for the driving assistance or collision avoidance function.

Abstract: An emergency brake assistance system includes: a collision risk detection unit (12) to detect a risk of collision with an object in front of the vehicle, based on data from an environment sensor (14) for recording objects in front of the vehicle and data from an accelerator sensor (16) for recording an intention to accelerate by the driver; and a collision avoidance unit (18) to implement measures to prevent a potential collision with the object in front of the vehicle, based on data from the collision risk detection unit. The system temporarily deactivates, for a specified time duration, an override condition of a safety concept of the system when the accelerator sensor records the driver's intention to accelerate and the vehicle speed is below a specified speed threshold. Thus the driver's acceleration command when setting the vehicle in motion temporarily cannot override an automatic actuation of the emergency brake system.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for the prediction and adaptation of movement trajectories of a motor vehicle for assisting the driver in his task of driving and/or for preventing a collision or reducing the consequences of an accident. The present invention further relates to a device for carrying out the method. According to the present invention and in order to carry out a prediction and adaptation of movement trajectories of a motor vehicle, an intersection of situatively required movement trajectories, which are determined using an environment sensor system, and physically possible movement trajectories, which result from properties which are characteristic of the driving dynamics of the motor vehicle and from the coefficient of friction obtained between tyres and road up to a maximum possible threshold coefficient of friction, is formed. According to the invention, only movement trajectories are taken into account which lie within this intersection.

Abstract: The invention relates to an emergency brake assistance system (10) for assisting a driver of a vehicle when setting the vehicle in motion, comprising a collision risk detection unit (12) which is designed to detect a risk of collision with an object in front of the vehicle, based on data from an environment sensor system (14) for recording objects in front of the vehicle and data from an accelerator sensor system (16) for recording an intention to accelerate by the driver, and a collision avoidance unit (18) which is designed to implement measures to prevent a potential collision with the object in front of the vehicle, based on data from the collision risk detection unit, wherein the emergency brake assistance system (10) is designed to temporarily implement for a specified time duration a deactivation of a cancellation and activation suppression condition of a safety concept when recording an intention to accelerate by the driver at a vehicle speed which is lower than a specified speed threshold.
