Patent number: 8355842Abstract: A method for steering a motor vehicle in a collision avoidance maneuver ahead of an object in the front or lateral surroundings of the motor vehicle. It is arranged that a linear control method is employed, in which case one controller output signal (?LLM1; . . . ; ?LLMN) each is determined in at least two linear controller modules depending on a deviation (e) between an actual position of the motor vehicle and a nominal position that is predetermined due to the avoiding path. The controller output signals (?LLM1; . . . ; ?LLMN) are weighted with respectively one weighting factor (?1; . . . ; ?N) that is established depending on the vehicle speed (v), and a steering angle of steerable wheels of the motor vehicle is established based on an arbitration of the weighted controller output signals. Furthermore, a device which is suitable to implement the method is provided.Type: GrantFiled: September 15, 2006Date of Patent: January 15, 2013Assignee: Continental Teves AG & Co. oHGInventors: Maxim Arbitmann, Matthias Schorn, Rolf Isermann

Patent number: 8340883Abstract: In order to be able to undertake a reliable prediction of a movement trajectory of an object moving in road traffic even for relatively long prediction periods, a method is proposed in which there is firstly determined (203) with the aid of an evaluation of a determined movement variable of the object a driving maneuver that is executed by the object. A model (2051; . . . ; 205N) of the movement of the object is then selected as a function of the determined driving maneuver, and the movement trajectory of the object is calculated with the aid of the selected model. There is also proposed an apparatus for predicting the movement trajectory of an object that is suitable for carrying out the method. The object can be both a motor vehicle and an object in the surroundings of the motor vehicle.Type: GrantFiled: September 15, 2006Date of Patent: December 25, 2012Assignee: Continental Teves AG & Co.

Patent number: 8209090Abstract: Disclosed is a method of executing a collision avoidance maneuver ahead of an object in the surroundings, with which the vehicle is on a collision course. To allow determining the avoiding path in a simplest possible fashion and, in particular, a simplest possible parameterization of the path, the avoiding path is given by a sigmoid (ƒao(x); ƒao/2(x); ƒ2ao(x)), the shape of which is defined by at least one parameter (a; B; c) that is determined depending on the speed of the motor vehicle or a desired maneuver width of the collision avoidance maneuver. Also disclosed is a device which is suitable for implementing the method.Type: GrantFiled: March 13, 2008Date of Patent: June 26, 2012Assignee: Continental Teves AG & Co., OHGInventors: Maxim Arbitmann, Ulrich Stählin, Matthias Schorn, Rolf Isermann

Patent number: 7893819Abstract: Disclosed is a method for avoiding a collision in a lane change maneuver of a vehicle to a target lane, where objects in a lateral rearward space of the vehicle are detected by an ambience monitoring device and measures are taken to influence the vehicle. The method is characterized in that graded measures are provided that depending on their stage, involve warning the driver and/or intervening into a steering system of the vehicle and/or influencing safety devices. The measures of a selected stage are initiated, with the stage being determined depending on a relative position of a detected object with regard to the vehicle and/or a relative speed between the vehicle and the detected object as well as depending on the fulfillment of a lane change condition. Also disclosed is a device that is well suited to implement the method.Type: GrantFiled: March 2, 2006Date of Patent: February 22, 2011Assignee: Continetntal Teves AG & Co, oHGInventors: Jürgen Pfeiffer, Stefan Lüke, Dirk Fröhlich, Maxim Arbitmann
