Abstract
In a method for maintaining a driver-independent braking intervention in a motor vehicle after a collision accelerator operation by the driver is detected; it is ascertained whether an engine torque influence via the accelerator can in fact be carried out; and when it is ascertained that the engine torque influence cannot be carried out, the driver-independent braking intervention is not broken off.
Claims8
A method for automatic braking intervention in a vehicle having a drive engine, comprising:
- in response to a detection of a collision of the vehicle, initiating a driver-independent automatic braking intervention if a collision of the vehicle is detected;
- detecting an accelerator operation by the driver;
- detecting whether the drive engine is interrupted;
- ascertaining whether an engine torque influence via the accelerator is able to be carried out;
- if the engine torque influence is able to be carried out, ending the driver-independent braking intervention;
- and
- if the engine torque influence is not able to be carried out, maintaining the driver-independent automatic braking intervention;
- wherein the engine torque influence is ascertained as not being able to be carried out if an energy supply for the drive engine is interrupted.

A system for controlling automatic braking intervention in a vehicle having a drive engine, comprising:
- means for initiating a driver-independent automatic braking intervention if a collision of the vehicle is detected in response to a detection of a collision of the vehicle;
- means for detecting an accelerator operation by the driver;
- means for detecting whether the drive engine is interrupted;
- means for ascertaining whether an engine torque influence via the accelerator is able to be carried out;
