Patent number: 12637078Abstract: A device for controlling the coasting mode of a vehicle in the context of a distance control and/or speed control function of the vehicle. The device is designed to determine that, upon exiting the coasting mode, the vehicle has an actual vehicle speed which lies below a target speed of the distance control and/or speed control function and/or an actual distance to a preceding vehicle, the actual distance lying above a target distance of the distance control and/or speed control function. In response thereto, the device is additionally designed to produce a coasting mode acceleration, which is reduced in comparison to a standard acceleration of the distance control and/or speed control function, for the vehicle in order to bring the actual speed closer to the target speed and/or in order to bring the actual distance closer to the target distance.Type: GrantFiled: April 21, 2023Date of Patent: May 26, 2026Assignee: Bayerische Motoren Werke AktiengesellschaftInventors: Helena Dolinaj, Miguel Loenne, Sebastien Mathieu

Patent number: 12576882Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatuses for analyzing upcoming route incidents on a driving route of a vehicle in the automated longitudinal guidance of the vehicle are provided. A first upcoming route incident at a first incident position is detected on the driving route of the vehicle. A first speed profile of the vehicle is predicted up to the first incident position considering the first route incident in the automated longitudinal guidance of the vehicle. Based on the first speed profile, it is determined whether or not a second route incident becomes relevant to the automated longitudinal guidance of the vehicle before the first incident position is reached.Type: GrantFiled: June 20, 2022Date of Patent: March 17, 2026Assignee: Bayerische Motoren Werke AktiengesellschaftInventors: Andreas Lechner, Sebastien Mathieu

Publication number: 20250282357Abstract: A device for controlling the coasting mode of a vehicle in the context of a distance control and/or speed control function of the vehicle is provided. The device is designed to predict a distance and/or speed progression of the vehicle in the coasting mode taking into account a movement of the vehicle during a coasting entry phase. The device is also designed to control the coasting mode in accordance with the predicted distance and/or speed progression.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 21, 2023Publication date: September 11, 2025Inventors: Helena DOLINAJ, Miguel LOENNE, Sebastien MATHIEU

Publication number: 20250206309Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a device for controlling the coasting mode of a vehicle in the context of a distance control and/or speed control function of the vehicle. In one form, a device is designed to predict a distance and/or speed graph for the vehicle in the coasting mode on the basis of a current degree of advancement of the vehicle, and to compare the predicted distance and/or speed graph for the vehicle with a target distance and/or a target speed of the distance control and/or speed control function of the vehicle. The device is also designed to control the coasting mode depending on the comparison.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 15, 2023Publication date: June 26, 2025Inventors: Helena DOLINAJ, Miguel LOENNE, Sebastien MATHIEU

Publication number: 20250033636Abstract: A method for the automated longitudinal guidance of a motor vehicle includes detecting whether there are two turns in a section lying ahead on a route. If so, the speed of the motor vehicle is maintained at a constant target speed value after having passed through a first of the two turns until reaching a second of the two turns.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 22, 2022Publication date: January 30, 2025Inventors: Miguel LOENNE, Helena DOLINAJ, Sebastien MATHIEU, Julius SCHULZ

Patent number: 12054146Abstract: A longitudinal driver assistance system is provided in a motor vehicle. A first detection system identifies a first event which, starting from an actual speed, leads to the specification of an increased target speed at a predefined location-dependent first moment in time, and for identifying a subsequent second event which, starting from the increased target speed, leads to the specification of a target speed that is reduced in relation thereto at a predefined location-dependent second moment in time. A second detection system identifies, in an anticipatory manner, a predefined deceleration potential starting from the increased target speed to the reduced target speed. A functional unit reduces the acceleration to the increased target speed if, otherwise, the subsequent deceleration to the reduced target speed with the predefined deceleration potential cannot be completed at the location-dependent moment in time of the second event.Type: GrantFiled: May 28, 2019Date of Patent: August 6, 2024Assignee: Bayerische Motoren Werke AktiengesellschaftInventors: Andreas Lechner, Miguel Loenne, Sebastien Mathieu

Patent number: 10549754Abstract: A longitudinally guiding driver assistance system in a motor vehicle includes a detection system for detecting currently applying events and relevant events lying ahead, which require an adaptation of the permissible maximum speed, and a function unit which, when detecting a relevant event, while taking into account the location of the relevant event lying ahead, determines a location-dependent point in time, whose reaching causes the function unit to initiate an output of prompt information for permitting an automatic adaptation of the currently permissible maximum speed to a new permissible maximum speed. The function unit is designed, in the case of an activation of the longitudinally guiding driver assistance system, while taking into account a detected currently applying event, to initiate a first output of prompt information for permitting an automatic first setting of the currently applying permissible maximum speed as the new permissible maximum speed.Type: GrantFiled: July 7, 2016Date of Patent: February 4, 2020Assignee: Bayerische Motoren Werke AktiengesellschaftInventors: Stefan Knoller, Sebastien Mathieu, Florian Schmitt
