Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20100280710METHOD AND DEVICE FOR OPERATING A VEHICLE HAVING AT LEAST ONE DRIVER ASSISTANCE SYSTEM - In a method for operating a vehicle, in particular a motor vehicle, having at least one driver assistance system, it is provided that the driver has the option of activating the driver assistance system in a critical driving situation, and that the driver assistance system assumes control of the vehicle upon activation without further action on the part of the driver. Furthermore, in a device for operating a vehicle, in particular a motor vehicle, having at least one driver assistance system, at least one actuation device able to be activated by the driver, which upon activation switches on the driver assistance system to assume control of the vehicle, in particular in critical driving situations.11-04-2010

20090167560Method and device for driver assistance by generating lane information for supporting of replacing lane information of a video-based lane information device - A method for driver assistance by generating lane information for supporting or for replacing lane information of a video-based lane information device includes: generating the lateral lane information based on the video-based lane information device of the vehicle; ascertaining at least one reliability parameter of the lateral lane information received from the lane information device; receiving navigation system-based lateral lane information from at least one other vehicle via a vehicle-to-vehicle communication device; and supporting or replacing the lateral lane information received from the lane information device based on the received navigation system-based lateral lane information as a function of the ascertained reliability parameter.07-02-2009
20090299547METHOD FOR DETERMINING FREE SPACES IN THE VICINITY OF A MOTOR VEHICLE, IN PARTICULAR IN THE VICINITY RELEVANT TO THE VEHICLE OPERATION - A method and system for determining free spaces in the vicinity of a motor vehicle, in particular a vicinity relevant to the vehicle operation, is provided. A method and system for determining an evasion trajectory for a driver assistance system of the motor vehicle is provided in which information from at least one object detection sensor of the motor vehicle about at least one detected object is used while taking the characteristics of the physical measuring principle of the at least one object detection sensor into account. A method and system is provided in which it is taken into account that the at least one object detection sensor has the capability of directly detecting a plurality of objects by a single measurement.12-03-2009
20090303234Method for object formation - The invention relates to a method for object formation for environmental modeling, wherein the processing of information of a sensor is carried out in consideration of a segmenting threshold (12-10-2009
20090326752Method for detecting a traffic zone - A method for detecting a traffic zone using an on-board sensor system. Objects from the surroundings of the host vehicle are detected using the sensor system. The course of the traffic lanes is derived from the performance characteristics of the objects detected by the sensors.12-31-2009
20100036562Driver Assistance System - In a driver assistance system having assistance functions determined by parameters, the driver assistance system is configured to be adaptive via modifiable parameters.02-11-2010
20100114490METHOD FOR AUTOMATICALLY CONTROLLING A VEHICLE - A method for automatically controlling a vehicle, in which information about at least one area that is freely passable by the vehicle is taken into account in order to provide an evasion trajectory of the vehicle with respect to an obstacle.05-06-2010
20100131155METHOD AND DEVICE FOR DETECTING AN OBSTACLE IN A REGION SURROUNDING A MOTOR VEHICLE, AND MOTOR VEHICLE - An apparatus for sensing an obstacle in a region surrounding a motor vehicle analyzes an image of the surrounding region, which region is divided into a plurality of fields. For each of the fields, the apparatus compares the relevant probability of the presence of an obstacle with a first threshold value and with a second threshold value that is greater than the first threshold value; determines a first classification of the fields as containing the obstacle if the probability of the relevant field is greater than the first threshold value, and determines a second classification of the fields as containing the obstacle if the probability of the relevant field is greater than the second threshold value.05-27-2010
