Abstract
A method for switching over from a first driver assistance function to a second driver assistance function in a two-wheeled vehicle; one of the driver assistance functions being an adaptive distance and speed control function, and the other driver assistance function being a cruise control function; the switchover being accomplished by uninterrupted manipulation of an actuating element by the driver over a time interval of predefined length.
Claims10
A method for switching over from a first driver assistance function to a second driver assistance function in a two-wheeled motor vehicle, the method comprising:
- detecting a manipulation by a driver of an actuating element;
- detecting that an adaptive distance and speed control function is currently active;
- and
- based on the detecting that the adaptive distance control and speed control function is currently active, switching over from the adaptive distance and speed control function to a cruise control function by deactivating the adaptive distance and speed control function and activating the cruise control function;
- wherein the switching over is performed only when the manipulation by the driver of the actuating element is an uninterrupted manipulation of the actuating element by the driver over a time interval of predefined length to accomplish the switchover;
- and
- wherein the adaptive distance and speed control function has a lower maximum speed than a maximum speed of the cruise control function.
An apparatus for switching over from a first driver assistance function to a second driver assistance function in a two-wheeled motor vehicle, comprising:
- a device configured to perform the following:
- detecting a manipulation by a driver of an actuating element;
- detecting that an adaptive distance and speed control function is currently active;
- and
- based on the detecting that the adaptive distance control and speed control function is currently active, switching over from the adaptive distance and speed control function to a cruise control function by deactivating the adaptive distance and speed control function and activating the cruise control function;
- wherein the switching over is performed only when the manipulation by the driver of the actuating element is an uninterrupted manipulation of the actuating element by the driver over a time interval of predefined length to accomplish the switchover;
- and
- wherein the adaptive distance and speed control function has a lower maximum speed than a maximum speed of the cruise control function.
