  • Method for performing a braking maneuver using a vehicle braking assistant
    Patent number: 10189455
    Abstract: In a braking maneuver using a braking assistant (9) in a motor vehicle (3), the braking assistant (9) initiates an automatic braking maneuver when an actual distance (a) between the motor vehicle (3) and an object (5) located ahead of the motor vehicle (3) becomes less than a specified minimum distance (amin). Then an acceleration of the decelerating vehicle (3) is ascertained during the braking maneuver, and if the acceleration is positive then the braking maneuver initiated by the braking assistant (9) is automatically interrupted.

  • Detection of brake lights of preceding vehicles for adaptation of an initiation of active safety mechanisms
    Patent number: 10140531
    Abstract: A method and a device for determining a warning condition on the basis of brake light detection. Image data are received from a front camera of a vehicle. It is determined whether a brake light of a preceding vehicle is active. An initiation threshold is lowered or a confidence value is raised if the brake light is active. An estimated risk value is derived from the image data of the front camera and a warning signal is produced, if the estimated risk value exceeds the initiation threshold.

  • Method for Performing a Braking Maneuver Using a Vehicle Braking Assistant
    Publication number: 20170210367
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for performing a braking maneuver using a braking assistant (9) in a motor vehicle (3), wherein the braking assistant (9) initiates an automatic braking maneuver when a distance between the motor vehicle (3) and an object (5) located ahead of the motor vehicle (3) is less than a minimum distance amin, an acceleration signal of the decelerating vehicle (3) is ascertained, and if the acceleration signal is positive the braking maneuver initiated by the braking assistant (9) is automatically interrupted.
