Abstract: A method and a device for transitioning a vehicle driving without activated lateral guidance assistance into a driving state having reduced risk of collision consequences in the event of an emergency of the driver, wherein the speed of the vehicle is greater than a threshold speed. The method includes detecting a hands-off situation of the driver in a hands-off phase and outputting a hands-off warning, performing a warning escalation in an escalation phase if there is no response to the hands-off warning, and reducing the vehicle speed to a speed less than the threshold speed in an intervention phase if there is no response in the escalation phase. During the hands-off phase, the escalation phase, and the intervention phase, a returning torque is applied to the steering apparatus of the vehicle if it is detected that the vehicle is leaving the current lane.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for providing a route stipulation for a route system of a vehicle, comprising the following steps:



providing a plurality of detected trajectories of further vehicles in a route section to be used,
ascertaining a trajectory stipulation from the detected trajectories,
ascertaining a deviation zone from the detected trajectories, wherein the deviation zone is determined on the basis of a deviation of at least individual detected trajectories from the trajectory stipulation,
determining the route stipulation at least on the basis of the trajectory stipulation and the deviation zone.

Abstract: A driving assistance system for a transportation vehicle, a corresponding transportation vehicle, and a corresponding operating method. The driving assistance system for supporting the longitudinal control of the transportation vehicle identifies an obstacle ahead of the transportation vehicle based on environment data. According to a first functionality, the driving assistance system causes emergency braking to bring the transportation vehicle to a standstill to avoid a collision. According to a second functionality, the driving assistance system causes a longitudinal control intervention that is reduced compared to the emergency braking to slow down the transportation vehicle once the obstacle is detected and before the transportation vehicle has approached the obstacle to such an extent that the collision is only prevented by emergency braking.

Abstract: A method for providing map data in a first transportation vehicle wherein position data is detected by second transportation vehicles concerning people detected by the second transportation vehicles in a surrounding area of the respective second transportation vehicles and is transmitted to a central data-processing unit so that at least one route which is at least partly used by at least some of the people is specified by the central data processing unit based on the aggregated position data and that route data of the specified at least one route is provided as part of the map data in the first transportation vehicle.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for improving hands-off recognition in a vehicle with steering torque-based recognition in that swarm data are provided from vehicles that recognize hands-off situations with hand distance sensors in the steering wheel. Both recognition results over a certain route section are compared and, in the case of deviations, the correctness of the results of the hand distance sensors is assumed. On this basis, route sections are determined in which steering torque-based recognition is unreliable. Based on this recognition, systems with steering torque evaluation can then be re-parameterized in order to be more reliable relative to the route.

Abstract: A method for operating a driver information system in an ego vehicle is provided wherein an additional road user is detected in a road area lying in front of the ego vehicle. A target trajectory for the ego vehicle is generated by a driver assistance system for at least partially automatic transverse control of the ego vehicle depending on the additional road user, and a driver information display is generated and output. The driver information display comprises a graphic road user object that represents the additional road user. The driver information display furthermore comprises a trajectory object which represents the target trajectory of the ego vehicle.

Abstract: A method and a device for controlling the lane-keeping of a motor vehicle, wherein the motor vehicle has a lane-keeping assistant with at least the states inactive and active, which lane-keeping assistant is used to keep the vehicle in the driver's own lane. The method includes checking whether the vehicle has drifted into the opposite lane; checking whether there is opposing traffic in the opposite lane; activating the lane-keeping assistant if the vehicle has drifted and there is opposing traffic; controlling the lane-keeping assistant with respect to the oncoming object by active steering intervention, wherein the oncoming vehicle is interpreted as a lane boundary of the driver's own lane.
