Abstract
A method for controlling a vehicle includes reading in a collision signal that represents an imminent collision of the vehicle with at least one collision object, selecting, based on the collision signal, an emergency trajectory that represents a human driving behavior associated with a human driver, and outputting a corresponding control signal to guide the vehicle along the emergency trajectory.
Claims11
A method for controlling a vehicle, the method comprising:
- obtaining a collision signal representing an imminent collision of the vehicle with at least one collision object;
- based on the collision signal, selecting an emergency trajectory representing a human driving behavior associated with a human driver;
- outputting a control signal to guide the vehicle along the selected emergency trajectory, wherein the selection of the emergency trajectory is from a plurality of reference trajectories that each represents a respective human driving behavior of a respective reference driver;
- and
- cycling through the reference trajectories one after another, wherein the selection of the emergency trajectory is performed by stopping the cycling upon obtaining the collision signal, with the one of the reference trajectories at which the cycling is stopped being selected as the selected emergency trajectory.
