US 8,788,136 B2 · Method and device for lane keeping assistance regulation

Abstract

In a lane keeping assistance method for a vehicle which is traveling in a lane, it is checked whether an activation criterion for an automatic driving dynamics intervention is satisfied, and in response to the satisfaction of the activation criterion, control signals are output for the driving dynamics intervention. A remaining travel time to crossing or reaching a lateral lane line is ascertained and compared to a threshold value as the activation criterion. During the automatic driving dynamics intervention, a deactivation criterion for ending the automatic driving dynamics intervention is checked, the deactivation criterion including a comparison of a vehicle alignment to a lane direction.

Dependent claims

An automated lane keeping assistance method for a vehicle traveling in a lane of a roadway, comprising:

checking by a controller whether an activation criterion for an automatic driving dynamics intervention is satisfied;
and
outputting control signals for the automatic driving dynamics intervention, in the case the activation criterion is satisfied;
wherein, as the activation criterion, a remaining travel time for one of crossing or reaching a lateral lane line of the traveled lane is ascertained and compared to a threshold value, and wherein during the automatic driving dynamics intervention, a deactivation criterion for ending the automatic driving dynamics intervention is checked, the deactivation criterion including a comparison of a vehicle alignment to a lane direction.
