  • Method for assisting a driver by means of a driver assistance system by means of corrected driver signals for a driving dynamics control system
    Patent number: 12767127
    Abstract: A method for assisting a driver by a driver assistance system, the driver assistance system evaluating and processing information items input by the driver and/or driver specifications as driver signals in a driver assistance unit and providing corrected driver signals, if the driver assistance unit evaluates a correction boundary condition as being satisfied, the driver assistance unit utilizing the observer signals of an observer unit for the evaluation of the correction boundary condition and for the generation of the corrected driver signals, the observer signals being dependent on the present driving state situation detected by vehicle sensors and/or on at least one information item relating to the course of the driving lane, the corrected driver signals being provided to a driving dynamics control system of the vehicle.
