Patent number: 7873467Abstract: A sensor arrangement which contains for a vehicle control system, comprises a buffer for geographic information, whereby the geographic information is suitable to describe at least one possible route of the vehicle. An input interface selects subsets of the geographic information stored in the buffer in response to at least one position-related parameter which is entered at the input interface. An output interface selects subsets of the geographic information corresponding to the parameter values provided, which subsets are transmitted for further processing in the vehicle control system.Type: GrantFiled: September 2, 2003Date of Patent: January 18, 2011Assignee: Daimler AGInventors: Mario Aleksic, Alexander Bracht, Volker Entenmann, Jochen Linkohr, Klaus Mezger, Roland Ortloff, Robert Schuessler

Patent number: 6844828Abstract: In a method for providing road users with information about a route section which is traveled along by a motor vehicle before a dangerous situation, the position and the duration of travel of the motor vehicle are repeatedly sensed along the route section using a sensor system in the motor vehicle. The measured values of the sensor system are stored as route points if the angular difference, weighted with the distance traveled along since the route point last stored, between the current direction of travel and the direction of travel at the route point last stored exceeds a predefined threshold value. A route point is stored when a warning function in the motor vehicle is activated in the dangerous situation, and the position of at least one route point and the current position of the motor vehicle are passed on in a warning message to the road users in a limited surrounding area. These measures inform the road users quickly and comprehensively about dangerous situations in the road traffic.Type: GrantFiled: June 9, 2003Date of Patent: January 18, 2005Assignee: DaimlerChrysler AGInventors: Jochen Linkohr, Klaus Mezger, Thomas Passegger

Patent number: 6597984Abstract: To increase convenience and safety in vehicles, sensor systems for environmental sensing which feature an intelligent scene interpretation are increasingly gaining importance. To determine the position of a motor vehicle with respect to the traffic lane, the data from a digital road map coupled with a navigation system is fused with the data delivered by a distance-resolving sensor. In this context, the signature and the distance-related variation of the received signal of the distance-resolving sensor are evaluated for determining the distance from the road edge. The advantage of the present invention ensues from the possibility for a vehicle to autonomously determine its instantaneous position with respect to the traffic lane, without falling back on a stationary traffic infrastructure (marking lines reflectors).Type: GrantFiled: July 24, 2001Date of Patent: July 22, 2003Assignee: DaimlerChrysler AGInventors: Nils Appenrodt, Joerg Berner, Klaus Mezger, Gerd Wanielik

Patent number: 6188949Abstract: A method and arrangement for controlling the longitudinal velocity of a motor vehicle is provided with a continuous determination of the vehicle position and controlling of the longitudinal velocity while defining a desired velocity defining value and/or velocity defining limit value as a function of the determined vehicle position. By using corresponding velocity defining devices, velocity data are detected by way of the actual value and/or a set desired value and/or a set limit value of the longitudinal vehicle velocity as a function of the vehicle position. The desired velocity defining value and/or velocity defining limit value is determined from the velocity data detected for the respective vehicle position during one or several preceding drives. The detected velocity data themselves and/or the desired defining value data or defining limit value data are stored in a retrievable manner.Type: GrantFiled: May 17, 1999Date of Patent: February 13, 2001Assignee: DaimlerChrysler AGInventors: Stefan Hahn, Friedemann Kuhn, Rudolf Lorenz, Klaus Mezger
