    Abstract: A method for controlling a safety device of a vehicle. The safety device reacts to an imminent collision by an intervention in a longitudinal and/or lateral guidance of the vehicle. The method includes reading in environment data and trip data regarding the collision object in an environment of the vehicle and the vehicle, and seat occupancy data regarding an occupancy state of at least one seat of the vehicle; ascertaining: an expected impingement side of the collision object on the vehicle; a velocity change of the vehicle in the context of the collision; and a seat occupancy distribution in the vehicle, using the seat occupancy data; executing an evaluation of the velocity change with regard to a threshold value and/or of the seat occupancy distribution relative to the expected impingement side; generating, depending on a result of the evaluation, a control signal for the safety device.

    Abstract: A method for controlling an ego vehicle. The method includes: receiving map data of a map representation of a surrounding environment of an ego vehicle; determining a safe driving corridor of the ego vehicle based on the map data of the map representation; determining a safety region of the ego vehicle based on a state of motion of the ego vehicle; checking whether the safety region is located completely within the safe driving corridor during travel of the ego vehicle along a travel trajectory; and outputting a control signal for executing a safety maneuver if the safety region is located at least partially outside the safe driving corridor.

    Abstract: A device and method for triggering an automatic response of a motor vehicle to an imminent accident situation by using data in a processing unit to create a traffic situation model of the existing traffic situation, analyzing a traffic situation and ascertaining response options, determining sequences to be expected beyond the primary accident incorporating subsequent movements of the road users and objects involved leading to secondary accidents or further subsequent accidents or potentially arising further hazardous situations, computing a probability distribution and/or an extent of injuries to persons and/or damage to objects of the road users and objects involved as a function of the response options, selecting that response option that is expected to have the smallest total degree of probability or the smallest extent of injury to persons and/or damage to objects overall for all road users and objects, and outputting control signals to initiate the selected response option.
