Abstract: To determine an activation criterion for outputting brake signals to a vehicle brake system at least one object in the environment of the vehicle is detected. A determination is made whether the vehicle is on a collision course with the object. If so, at least one avoidance criterion is determined, wherein an S-shaped avoidance trajectory of the vehicle is determined, from which at least one extreme value of a lateral acceleration of the vehicle is determined. The extreme value is compared with at least one threshold value. The avoidance criterion is met if the associated extreme value falls below the threshold value, and the activation criterion for the brake application is not met as long as the avoidance criterion is met.

Abstract: A sleeve (1), particularly a rod sleeve, at least consisting of a core comprising a core hub (2) that has two faces (3), and comprising a core pin (4), which extends in the direction of longitudinal axis Y and which projects over both faces of the core hub while forming two connecting journals (5). The inventive sleeve also consists of an outer sleeve (6) and of an elastic layer (7) located between the core hub (2) and the outer sleeve (6). The core hub (2) and the core pin (4) form a one-piece core system that is provided, however, in two parts with regard to the normal X to the longitudinal axis Y, whereby both core halves (A1, A2) are assembled with interference fit by means of an insertion-slot system (8). The core hub (2) between its two faces (3) undergoes a tapering with an angle change?, whereby the respective contact surfaces (9, 10) of the core hub and of the outer sleeve (6) extend in a manner that essentially corresponds to the elastic layer (7).

Abstract: A joint having a metal or plastic core and a metal or plastic outer shell. The core has two studs extending in a direction of an axis of rotation and arranged vertically at 180° from each other. The outer shell consists of two half shells, each having a reinforcing segment. A bore with a bore base is provided on each reinforcing segment. Two cup-shaped elastomeric pads are located between the core and the outer shell and are insulated from one another. The elastomeric pads surround the studs which penetrate the bore in the reinforcing segments. A ratio of the stud diameter to the pad thickness is specified.
