  • Publication number: 20160225256
    Abstract: A method and a control and detection device for a plausibility check of a wrong-way driving incident of a motor vehicle at a junction of a unidirectional roadway of a road, in which the plausibility check is activated by recognizing a direction feature of a roadway of the junction, and in which it is determined whether a current driving direction of the motor vehicle leads in the direction of a roadway having at least one prohibition sign, indicating that entry is prohibited, and/or in which it is determined whether a predicated driving route of the motor vehicle leads in the direction of a roadway having at least one prohibition sign.

  • Publication number: 20160217687
    Abstract: A system for transferring information upon detection of wrong-way driving of a motor vehicle includes a transmitting device and a receiving device. The transmitting device encompasses a light source that is embodied to emit a light-coded signal, as well as a recognition unit that is embodied to detect wrong-way driving of a motor vehicle. The transmitting device is configured to emit the light-coded signal by way of the light source as soon as the recognition unit detects wrong-way driving of a motor vehicle, the light-coded signal containing an information item regarding wrong-way driving of the motor vehicle. The receiving device is configured to execute a row-by-row and/or column-by-column image scan, and to receive and evaluate a light-coded signal completely within one image.

  • Publication number: 20140350837
    Abstract: A method for an automatic intervention into an ego vehicle when it is traveling erroneously, in particular when it is traveling the wrong way, on a road, via a safety device or a safety system of the ego vehicle, the wrong-way travel of the ego vehicle on the road initially being detected, and automated backward travel being able to be carried out by the ego vehicle chronologically after the detection of the wrong-way travel. Furthermore, the invention relates to a computer program product which is configured to carry out an intervention method according to the present invention; a computing unit or a processing device, which may be a control unit or a control device for a vehicle; and a safety device or a safety system for a vehicle, in particular a driver assistance system for a motor vehicle.
