Abstract: A method for providing swerve assistance for a motor vehicle, in which a threatening or imminent collision of the motor vehicle is detected, the driver is notified to steer the vehicle onto a collision-avoiding swerve trajectory, it is detected whether the driver heeds the warning and initiates a swerve maneuver, and if the driver initiates a swerve maneuver, a driver-independent implementation of a steering or braking intervention assisting in the steering onto the swerve trajectory takes place.

Abstract: A method and a device are provided for stabilizing a vehicle combination made up of a tractor vehicle and a trailer in case of fishtailing motions, in which—the presence of a fishtailing motion of the tractor vehicle is detected,—after the exceeding of a first threshold value by the amplitude of an oscillating fishtailing variable characterizing the fishtailing motion, a driver-independent steering intervention in the steering actuator system of the tractor vehicle takes place and—after the exceeding of a second threshold value by the amplitude of the fishtailing variable, a driver-independent braking intervention in the brake actuator system of the tractor vehicle takes place,—the second threshold value being selected to be greater than the first threshold value.

Abstract: A method for folding in at least one side mirror of a vehicle includes: a step of reading in a piece of information about an obstacle avoidance maneuver of the vehicle; and outputting a control signal for displacing the at least one side mirror in response to the piece of information about an obstacle avoidance maneuver of the vehicle.

Abstract: An avoidance maneuver assistant for a motor vehicle includes: a sensory system for monitoring the traffic environment of the vehicle; and an electronic control device, in which an emergency avoidance function is implemented. The emergency avoidance function checks, using sensory data, if an emergency avoidance maneuver is necessary, and then intervenes in the dynamics of the vehicle via an actuator system, using an intervention force varying within predefined limits, to assist in the emergency avoidance maneuver. The control device implements a limiting function, which varies the limits for the intervention force as a function of a difference between actual dynamics determined by actions of the driver and setpoint dynamics determined by the emergency avoidance function.

Abstract: A method for determination of an optimized evasion trajectory by a safety device or a safety system, in particular a lane change assistance system and/or evasion assistance system, of a motor vehicle, the optimized evasion trajectory being outputted to a vehicle driver, and/or a trajectory of the motor vehicle being optionally partially adapted to the optimized evasion trajectory, by way of the method, the optimized evasion trajectory being determined by optimization of a transverse-dynamic quality factor (J), for which a transverse acceleration (a) and/or a transverse jerk ({dot over (a)}) of the motor vehicle is/are utilized. Also described is a safety device or a safety system, in particular to a lane change assistance system and/or an evasion assistance system for a motor vehicle, a method being executable and/or being executed by the safety device or the safety system.
