  • Patent number: 12351153
    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.

  • Patent number: 12151679
    Abstract: A method for controlling a safety device of a vehicle. The safety device reacts to an imminent collision by an intervention in a longitudinal and/or lateral guidance of the vehicle. The method includes reading in environment data and trip data regarding the collision object in an environment of the vehicle and the vehicle, and seat occupancy data regarding an occupancy state of at least one seat of the vehicle; ascertaining: an expected impingement side of the collision object on the vehicle; a velocity change of the vehicle in the context of the collision; and a seat occupancy distribution in the vehicle, using the seat occupancy data; executing an evaluation of the velocity change with regard to a threshold value and/or of the seat occupancy distribution relative to the expected impingement side; generating, depending on a result of the evaluation, a control signal for the safety device.

  • Publication number: 20240208540
    Abstract: A method for controlling an ego vehicle. The method includes: receiving map data of a map representation of a surrounding environment of an ego vehicle; determining a safe driving corridor of the ego vehicle based on the map data of the map representation; determining a safety region of the ego vehicle based on a state of motion of the ego vehicle; checking whether the safety region is located completely within the safe driving corridor during travel of the ego vehicle along a travel trajectory; and outputting a control signal for executing a safety maneuver if the safety region is located at least partially outside the safe driving corridor.

  • Publication number: 20200255035
    Abstract: A method for limiting an accident risk. The method initially includes a step of identifying, in which an increased accident risk is identified due to a changed situation in the interior of a vehicle and/or a changed traffic situation in the surroundings of the vehicle. The method also includes a step of providing, in which a control signal is provided for activating the vehicle to change a driving style and/or a travel route and/or an interior parameter in response to the identified change of the situation in the of the vehicle and/or traffic situation in the surroundings of the vehicle, in order to limit the accident risk.

  • Publication number: 20200130707
    Abstract: A method is described for changing a route and/or a driving style in a vehicle as a function of an interior situation. The method includes a step of identifying the interior situation in an interior space of the vehicle, and a step of outputting (510) a control command for controlling a vehicle in order to change the driving style and/or a route of the vehicle in response to the identified interior situation, and/or the outputting of an alarm signal in order to initiate an assumption of the vehicle control by the driver.

  • Publication number: 20200027341
    Abstract: A device and method for triggering an automatic response of a motor vehicle to an imminent accident situation by using data in a processing unit to create a traffic situation model of the existing traffic situation, analyzing a traffic situation and ascertaining response options, determining sequences to be expected beyond the primary accident incorporating subsequent movements of the road users and objects involved leading to secondary accidents or further subsequent accidents or potentially arising further hazardous situations, computing a probability distribution and/or an extent of injuries to persons and/or damage to objects of the road users and objects involved as a function of the response options, selecting that response option that is expected to have the smallest total degree of probability or the smallest extent of injury to persons and/or damage to objects overall for all road users and objects, and outputting control signals to initiate the selected response option.
