Publication number: 20170334446Abstract: The invention relates to a lane change assistant for a vehicle comprising a sensor arrangement for calculating information relating to lanes and other road users. Provided is an arithmetic and logic unit for calculating movement paths for a first lane change and a subsequent second lane change to the original lane. The vehicle driver can accept or initiate the calculated lane changes. An actuator unit can then execute the lane changes calculated by the arithmetic and logic unit and initiated by the vehicle driver upon receipt of a signal from the arithmetic and logic unit.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 4, 2017Publication date: November 23, 2017Applicant: Continental Teves AG & Co. oHGInventors: Sybe Dirk Jan Bosch, Oliver Fochler, Stefan Lüke, Matthias Strauss

Patent number: 9189961Abstract: A method and system for autonomous tracking of a following vehicle on the track of a leading vehicle. A lead message is received by the following vehicle and rejected by the following vehicle or confirmed with a follow message. After receipt of the follow message, a first element of coordination information for coordination of the autonomous tracking is sent to the following vehicle by the leading vehicle. A second element of coordination information is detected for coordination of the autonomous tracking by environment sensors of the following vehicle on the basis of movements of the leading vehicle. The first and second elements of coordination information are compared by the following vehicle. In the case of a matching comparison result, the autonomous tracking is performed corresponding to the first and second elements of coordination information and, in the case of a deviating comparison result, the autonomous tracking is ended.Type: GrantFiled: May 6, 2013Date of Patent: November 17, 2015Assignee: Continental Teves AG & Co. oHGInventors: Wilfried Mehr, Ulrich Stählin, Stefan Lüke
