Abstract: A brake system for a motor vehicle. The brake system includes an autonomous emergency braking system to ascertain an object list using sensor data and continuously update the object list based on newly added sensor data, to ascertain a braking event based on the object list at a first point in time and to activate the actuating device to generate a hydraulic force if a braking event is ascertained, to recognize whether the braking event is still present based on the updated object list at a second point in time, after the first point in time; and to activate the hydraulic unit directly to reduce the hydraulic force applied to at least one wheel brake of the motor vehicle if the braking event is no longer present.

Abstract: A method for operating a driving assistance system. The method includes operating at least one sensor device in a host vehicle for monitoring the surroundings of the host vehicle; recognizing a fast-moving vehicle that is traveling in a first lane adjacent to a second lane in which the host vehicle is traveling, and determining a travel speed of the fast-moving vehicle in a travel direction of the host vehicle, based on a travel speed of the host vehicle or of a following vehicle or of a preceding vehicle, by the sensor device and by a control device; identifying a movement of the fast-moving vehicle as a passing operation of the host vehicle or of the following vehicle or of the preceding vehicle; and identifying a change in the movement of the fast-moving vehicle as an abortion of the passing operation.

Abstract: A method for activating an emergency braking function of a vehicle. At least one restraint unit is activated in the process for restraining at least one occupant of the vehicle in response to an identification of an imminent triggering of the emergency braking function, using at least one sensor signal of at least one sensor of the vehicle. The triggering of the emergency braking function takes place when the restraint unit is activated.

Abstract: A method for providing a piece of injury information about an injury of an unprotected road user in the event of a collision with a vehicle. In this method, a probability value, which represents a probability of a degree of severity of the injury, is determined using a function representing the degree of severity as a function of at least one collision parameter characterizing the collision. A piece of injury information is generated using the probability value, which is finally sent to a receiving station of an emergency call system.

Abstract: A method for a vehicle, by which it is determined whether a further vehicle located in the surroundings of the vehicle is operated in an at least semi-automated manner. The method includes detecting at least one parameter of the further vehicle and determining, on the basis of the at least one parameter, whether the further vehicle is operated in an at least semi-automated manner.

Abstract: A method for ascertaining data of a traffic situation with a first vehicle and at least one second vehicle trailing the first vehicle, the method including a) ascertaining at least one defined parameter of the first vehicle, b) ascertaining a traffic situation in front of the first vehicle by the first vehicle and/or by the second vehicle, c) evaluating the information ascertained in steps a) and b) in a defined manner, and providing the information evaluated in step c) to the second vehicle at least at the start of a passing maneuver of the first vehicle conducted by the second vehicle.

Abstract: A method for controlling a vehicle. A piece of hazard area information, which represents at least one hazard area in the surroundings of the vehicle, and a piece of approach information, which represents an approach to the vehicle of at least one further vehicle driving next to the vehicle, are read in. Using the approach information, at least one collision parameter of a collision between the vehicle and the further vehicle is ascertained. Finally, a control signal is generated, using the collision parameter and the hazard area information, to steer the vehicle in a direction facing away from the hazard area.

Abstract: A method for controlling an occupant protection system of a vehicle includes reading in at least one vehicle acceleration value representing an acceleration of the vehicle and at least one model parameter of an occupant model by which a vehicle occupant is represented by at least two, in particular three, mass points. The vehicle acceleration value and the model parameter are processed in order to determine at least one motion parameter relating to the two, in particular three, mass points. Using the motion parameter, a control signal for controlling the occupant protection system is produced.

Abstract: A method for transforming data of a sensor. First data of a first sensor of a first vehicle and a first position are initially provided. The first data include a first distance and a first direction to an object. The first position includes a location of the first sensor at which the first data were ascertained. A second position of a second vehicle is additionally provided. The first data are subsequently converted into transformed data based on the first position and the second position, the transformed data including a second distance and a second direction. The second distance is a distance between the object and the second position. The second direction is a direction between the object and the second position. The transformed data are subsequently output.

Abstract: A method for providing a piece of occupant information for a safety unit for a vehicle includes reading in image data representing an occupant of the vehicle via an interface to an image recording unit of the vehicle, reading in plausibility check data representing a person via an interface to a mobile device, a step of determining occupant data characterizing the occupant using the image data and the plausibility check data, and a step of providing the occupant data to an interface to the safety unit for the vehicle.

Abstract: A pre-collision system for an occupant protection system of a vehicle, includes a predictive sensor system, a vehicle seat, a restraint system, and an evaluation and control unit that evaluates output signals of the predictive sensor system and activates a belt tensioning function of the restraint system if the evaluation of the output signals indicates an imminent collision, where the belt tensioning function generates a tensile force in the belt, which presses a corresponding occupant into the vehicle seat, with a resulting kinetic energy of the occupant that releases a pre-trigger mechanism, which is integrated into a mounting of the vehicle seat, and that enables a blocked degree of freedom of the vehicle seat so that the entire vehicle seat tilts about a defined tilt axis in the direction of an expected impact force.
