    摘要: The invention relates to a method and to a device, in particular a control and evaluation unit, for recognizing a water passage or a high water level for a vehicle, which has, as a drive, an internal combustion engine having an exhaust train, in which the functionality of an emission control system is monitored or controlled by at least one exhaust sensor and the exhaust sensor is operated at least intermittently at high temperatures and has thermal shock susceptibility by design. According to the invention, a water recognition criterion is determined based on one or a plurality of distance sensors and, at critical values of the water level which are predicted or have already been reached, protective measures are initiated for the emissions control system of the vehicle or for the exhaust sensor or exhaust sensors arranged in the exhaust duct. Damage to exhaust sensors or to components of the emissions control system as a result of the severe cooling upon contact with water can thus be minimized. In addition, misinformation of the exhaust sensors due to a thermal shock and a possible accompanying malfunction can also be recognized by said anticipatory protective measures and correspondingly suppressed.

    摘要: A drive assist system that includes circuitry that obtains information including at least one of acceleration/deceleration information and direction-of-travel information from a memory that stores at least one of the acceleration/deceleration information provided in relation to at least one of a set of a plurality of sections of a road and the direction-of-travel information provided in relation to at least one of the set of the plurality of sections of the road; obtains location information of a vehicle; and performs at least one of a acceleration/deceleration drive assist with regard to acceleration and/or deceleration of the vehicle based on the location information and the acceleration/deceleration information, and a direction drive assist with regard to a direction of travel of the vehicle based on the location information and the direction-of-travel information.

    摘要: Aspects of the disclosure relate to a method of controlling an HMI-apparatus for providing information to a driver of a vehicle for aiding driver control of a vehicle when the vehicle is wading in a body of water. The method includes determining a measured depth of water about the actual vehicle and determining a display depth, dependent upon the measured depth of water. The method also includes measuring a lateral and/or longitudinal gradient of the actual vehicle and selecting a display vehicle position from a limited number of available options of display vehicle positions based upon the measured lateral and/or longitudinal gradient of the actual vehicle. In this way the HMI-apparatus can output a simplified picture of the actual vehicle scenario which may be easier for the driver to assimilate.
