20130006473 | Method and control unit for determining a cutting trajectory of a curve section of a roadway - A method for determining a cutting trajectory that enables a curve section of a lane to be cut by a vehicle. In the method, information about the curve section is received, and the curve section is divided into at least one curve segment having a segment length and a start curvature, the curve segment being a straight-line segment or a circular arc segment or a curve segment whose curvature is a function of an arc length of the curve segment. This is followed by determination of a cutting trajectory from the at least one curve segment, so that, at a specific point of the curve section, the cutting trajectory has a predetermined offset relative to a center of the lane. | 01-03-2013 |
20140039716 | METHOD AND DEVICE FOR DETERMINING A TRANSVERSAL CONTROLLER PARAMETERIZATION FOR TRANSVERSAL CONTROL OF A VEHICLE - A method for determining a transversal controller parameterization for transversal control of a vehicle on a route segment to be instantaneously traveled on by the vehicle, having a step for determining the parameter based on a piece of information about a curvature of the route segment to be instantaneously traveled on. | 02-06-2014 |
20150154328 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR SEGMENTING AN OCCUPANCY GRID FOR A SURROUNDINGS MODEL OF A DRIVER ASSISTANCE SYSTEM FOR A VEHICLE BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION - A method is described for segmenting an occupancy grid for a surroundings model of a driver assistance system for a vehicle. The method encompasses a step of reading in an occupancy grid having a plurality of grid cells, each grid cell of the plurality of grid cells having assigned to it a grid cell information item that encompasses an information item about a degree of occupancy and at least one additional information item about the grid cell; and a step of assigning at least one object and/or a plurality of objects to the plurality of grid cells using the grid cell information item, in order to segment the occupancy grid for a surroundings model. | 06-04-2015 |
20150156471 | METHOD AND DEVICE FOR PROCESSING STEREOSCOPIC DATA - A method is described for processing sensor data of a stereo sensor system for stereoscopic sensing of an environment of the stereo sensor system. A disparity map is constituted based on the sensor data, wherein a change in disparity between two disparity points of the disparity map that are constituted with a spacing from one another is identified, at least one of the two disparity points being classified to correspond to an object as a function of the change in disparity. Also described is a corresponding apparatus, to a corresponding object recognition system, and to a corresponding computer program. | 06-04-2015 |
20150175159 | METHOD AND DEVICE FOR AVOIDING OR MITIGATING A COLLISION OF A VEHICLE WITH AN OBSTACLE - A method is described for avoiding or mitigating a collision of a vehicle with an obstacle in a traffic lane of the vehicle, if the obstacle is at least partially blocking a planned travel envelope of the vehicle, the method including a step of detecting and a step of adapting. In the step of detecting, a position and/or trajectory of the obstacle is detected. In the step of adapting, the travel envelope is adapted with the aid of the position and/or the trajectory, in order to avoid or mitigate the collision. | 06-25-2015 |
20150206001 | Method and device for classifying a behavior of a pedestrian when crossing a roadway of a vehicle as well as passenger protection system of a vehicle - A method for classifying a behavior, of a pedestrian when crossing a roadway of a vehicle, includes reading in a sensor signal to detect the pedestrian and at least one piece of surroundings information regarding surroundings of the pedestrian. The sensor signal represents here a signal of at least one sensor of the vehicle. The method further includes ascertaining at least one physical variable of a correlation between the pedestrian and the at least one piece of surroundings information. Finally, the method includes classifying the behavior of the pedestrian using the at least one physical variable. | 07-23-2015 |
20150210311 | METHOD FOR OPERATING A DRIVER ASSISTANCE SYSTEM, AND DRIVER ASSISTANCE SYSTEM - A method is provided for operating a driver assistance system, and a driver assistance system. The method includes the steps: determination of a current position of a pedestrian in an environment surrounding the vehicle; determination of a first current state of motion of the pedestrian; determination of a second current state of motion of the vehicle; calculation of a sojourn probability distribution of the pedestrian, the sojourn probability distribution being a function of time and of space and being based on a pedestrian motion model in connection with the determined current position of the pedestrian and the determined current state of motion of the pedestrian; calculation of a trajectory, based on the calculated sojourn probability distribution of the pedestrian and on the second current state of motion of the vehicle, having a minimum collision probability for the vehicle and the pedestrian; and operation of the driver assistance system of the vehicle based on the calculated trajectory. | 07-30-2015 |
20150224988 | DRIVER-ASSISTANCE SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR OPERATING THE DRIVER-ASSISTANCE SYSTEM - A method for operating a driver-assistance system for a vehicle traveling on a road is described, which includes the steps:
