Control Device and Method for Controlling an Operation of a Motor Vehicle

Abstract

A control device is provided for controlling or regulating an operation of a motor vehicle. The control device is designed to determine a course of a first boundary based on a surroundings model of the motor vehicle and to determine a course of a second boundary based on the surroundings model. The first boundary delimits an area maximally traversable by the motor vehicle and the second boundary delimits a further area traversable by the motor vehicle, which is located completely within the area delimited by the first boundary and which the motor vehicle can leave for a predetermined period of time. The control device is designed to adapt the determined course of the second boundary in a section at the height of the motor vehicle so that the further area delimited by the second boundary is expanded in this section and decreases with increasing distance from the motor vehicle.
