Abstract: A method is described for processing sensor data of a stereo sensor system for stereoscopic sensing of an environment of the stereo sensor system. A disparity map is constituted based on the sensor data, wherein a change in disparity between two disparity points of the disparity map that are constituted with a spacing from one another is identified, at least one of the two disparity points being classified to correspond to an object as a function of the change in disparity. Also described is a corresponding apparatus, to a corresponding object recognition system, and to a corresponding computer program.

Abstract: In a method for adjusting a steering system in a vehicle, a setpoint trajectory is produced to which a tolerance corridor is assigned, a basic steering torque for guiding the vehicle within the tolerance corridor being generated. In the event that the vehicle leaves the tolerance corridor, a steering guidance torque which acts upon the vehicle in the direction of the tolerance corridor is superimposed on the basic steering torque.

Abstract: A method and a device for controlling a driver assistance system using an LKS function of a vehicle, in which the LKS function is activated within predefinable boundary values and is deactivated outside these system boundaries. According to the invention, in response to the deactivation of the LKS function during cornering of the vehicle, the LKS function is transferred from a regulation to a control, in such a way that, during the cornering, the driver continues to be supported by a system torque in the transverse guidance of the vehicle at least over a certain stretch of path.

Abstract: A driver assistance device for a vehicle having a plurality of safety functions, such as in particular an LDW function and an LKS function, in which system-related boundary values are provided for the safety functions such that when they are undershot the safety function is activated and when they are exceeded the safety function is deactivated. The boundary values are developed to be variable.

Abstract: In a method for controlling a driver assistance system, the activation of LKS (lane keeping support) function may result in lateral pendulum motions of the vehicle. Zones having specified conditions are defined in a region of the traffic lane in front of the vehicle. Within the zones, a check is performed to determine whether the respective driving state of the vehicle matches the specified conditions. In the event of a match, the existence of a pendulum motion of the vehicle is assumed.

Abstract: A method for determining a cutting trajectory that enables a curve section of a lane to be cut by a vehicle. In the method, information about the curve section is received, and the curve section is divided into at least one curve segment having a segment length and a start curvature, the curve segment being a straight-line segment or a circular arc segment or a curve segment whose curvature is a function of an arc length of the curve segment. This is followed by determination of a cutting trajectory from the at least one curve segment, so that, at a specific point of the curve section, the cutting trajectory has a predetermined offset relative to a center of the lane.

Abstract: A device for keeping a vehicle in its lane, including a reference model, which obtains geometric data regarding the position of the vehicle in the lane as well as data relating to the course of the lane from a lane detection system, and from these calculates a setpoint variable for controlling the vehicle position. In order to allow for corners to be cut, the guiding behavior of the control system is modified in such a way when cornering that, in the event of a deviation of the path of motion of the vehicle from the setpoint path of motion in the direction of the inside of the curve, no or only low steering forces are applied to the steering system.

Abstract: A method for adapting a steering-wheel torque, driver-independently exerted on the steering wheel, in a lane-keeping support system of a motor vehicle includes determining a deviation variable that characterizes the lateral vehicle deviation from an ideal line, and exerting a driver-independent steering wheel torque on the steering wheel as a function of the determined deviation variable. In this manner, the torque is adapted to the lane width.
