  • Control Assembly for a Motor Vehicle and Method for Operating the Control Assembly for a Motor Vehicle
    Publication number: 20140210795
    Abstract: A control assembly for a motor vehicle is arranged so that a control action carried out by a finger is able to be detected. The control assembly includes a control device and a selection element, on which a finger is able to be positioned to make a selection. The selection element is arranged in a predetermined spatial way with respect to the control device either next to or directly next to the control device. The control device is formed to detect a position of the finger on the selection element and to differentiate the control action depending on the detected position.

  • Hazard-prevention system for a vehicle
    Patent number: 7072753
    Abstract: The invention relates to a hazard-prevention system for a vehicle. The vehicle has devices for sensing driving state variables, for sensing ambient data and for sensing the driver's activity, and a data processing device. The data processing device is provided for processing the sensed data and for actuating a safety device in accordance with a predefined control strategy. According to the invention, the vehicle has a device for identifying the driver, and the data processing device derives a driver load factor related specifically to the driver from the driving state variables, the ambient data and the data relating to the activity of the driver, and said driver load factor is used to adapt the control strategy.
