Abstract: A driver assistance system includes a first measuring device for determining the distances to a water surface, which includes at least two distance sensors. A first distance sensor measures a first distance to a water surface, in that the distance is determined perpendicularly downward from the first sensor to the water surface, and the second distance sensor measures a second distance to a water surface, in that the distance is also determined perpendicularly downward from the second sensor to the water surface. A second measuring device determines an instantaneous pitch angle of the vehicle. A processing unit is coupled to the first and second measuring devices. The processing unit determines an instantaneous water surface plane as a function of the first distance, the second distance, and the instantaneous pitch angle of the vehicle. A display unit indicates the instantaneous water surface plane in relation to the vehicle.

Abstract: A driver assistance system includes a first measuring device for determining distances from a water surface, which includes at least two distance sensors. First and second distance sensors are situated laterally on the vehicle with respect to a respective side of the vehicle. The first and second distance sensor measure a first distance from a water surface by determining the distance perpendicularly downward from the respective sensor to the water surface. The system includes a second measuring device for determining an instantaneous roll angle of the vehicle and a processing unit, which is coupled to the first measuring device and to the second measuring device. The processing unit determines at least one first transversal component of the instantaneous flow velocity of the body of water forming the water surface, as a function of the first distance, the second distance and the instantaneous roll angle of the vehicle.
