Abstract: An embodiment relates to a method for operating driver assistance systems in a motor vehicle. The embodiment operates by evaluating, using a first function of a first driver assistance system, a feature data structure of a central environment model used by the driver assistance systems. The feature data structure is related to an environmental feature, and the central environment model has a plurality of feature data structures. The evaluating by the first function outputs results data. A piece of result information representing a portion of the results data is added to the feature data structure in response to the evaluation of the feature data structure. A second function of a second driver assistance system evaluates the feature data structure based on the piece of result information.

Abstract: Respective movements and positions of traffic participants arranged within a monitoring range surrounding a motor vehicle are captured on the front side, on the rear side, and/or laterally, by several sensors of the motor vehicle. One characteristic value per traffic participant is established which quantifies a collision probability of the motor vehicle with the respective traffic participants in dependency on the captured movements and positions of the traffic participants and the movement and position of the motor vehicle. At least one warning message is issued with respect to the traffic participants, for which the established characteristic values reach a predetermined collision probability value, wherein the warning message is signaled in which direction of the motor vehicle the respective collisions are impending.

Abstract: In a method for warning a driver of a vehicle, the position of the vehicle on the roadway is determined. For the determined position of the vehicle, data relating to a curved roadway course in the area ahead of the vehicle are obtained and data relating to a self-motion of the vehicle are obtained using a driving dynamics sensor. The curved roadway in the area ahead of the vehicle is divided into at least two zones of criticality as a function of the data relating to the curved roadway course and the data relating to the self-motion, wherein each zone of criticality is assigned an assessment which assesses the driving behavior of the vehicle within the respective zone of criticality, and the assessments are outputted to the vehicle driver.
