Abstract
A method performs an at least partially automated maneuver. When an increased probability of collision of the vehicle with a vehicle in front is recognized, at least the decision to divert and/or the decision to return, i.e. the decision to return to the lane in which the vehicle was travelling before the diversion, is controlled as a function of a parameter of the traffic situation in front of the vehicle in front.
Claims14
A method for performing an at least partially automated maneuver via an electronic control unit for a vehicle, the method comprising the steps of:
- detecting whether there is an increased probability of a collision of the vehicle with a vehicle traveling ahead, and
- controlling, as a function of a parameter of the traffic situation in front of the vehicle traveling ahead, at least a decision to divert and/or a decision to return, wherein:
- when an increased risk of a collision of the vehicle with the vehicle traveling ahead is present, a probability of diversion of the vehicle traveling ahead onto another lane is determined,
- assistance or execution of a targeted braking operation of the vehicle with respect to the vehicle traveling ahead is implemented if the probability of diversion of the vehicle traveling ahead onto a diversion lane of the vehicle is lower than a predetermined value, and
- assistance or execution of a targeted braking operation of the vehicle with respect to a vehicle in front of the vehicle traveling ahead is executed if the probability of diversion of the vehicle traveling ahead onto the diversion lane of the vehicle is higher than a predetermined value.
A control device for performing an at least partially automated maneuver for a motor vehicle, comprising:
- an open-loop or closed-loop electronic control unit that executes a computer program to:
- detect whether there is an increased probability of a collision of the vehicle with a vehicle traveling ahead, and
- control, as a function of a parameter of the traffic situation in front of the vehicle traveling ahead, at least a decision to divert and/or a decision to return, wherein:
- when an increased risk of a collision of the vehicle with the vehicle traveling ahead is present, a probability of diversion of the vehicle traveling ahead onto another lane is determined,
- assistance or execution of a targeted braking operation of the vehicle with respect to the vehicle traveling ahead is implemented if the probability of diversion of the vehicle traveling ahead onto a diversion lane of the vehicle is lower than a predetermined value, and
- assistance or execution of a targeted braking operation of the vehicle with respect to a vehicle in front of the vehicle traveling ahead is executed if the probability of diversion of the vehicle traveling ahead onto the diversion lane of the vehicle is higher than a predetermined value.
