DRIVER ASSISTANCE SYSTEM FOR MOTOR VEHICLES

摘要

A driver assistance system for motor vehicles, having a velocity regulation function for regulating the velocity of the subject vehicle to a nominal velocity, and having an adjacent-lane monitoring function, characterized by a turning assistance function which, when the velocity regulation function is active and an incoming signal indicates an imminent turning process that requires crossing an adjacent lane, monitors the traffic in the adjacent lane with the aid of the adjacent-lane monitoring function, and, as a function of locations and velocities of traffic participants in the adjacent lane, determines a spatial and temporal window for moving into the adjacent lane and adapts the nominal velocity to this window.

1. A driver assistance system for a motor vehicle, comprising:
a velocity regulation function arrangement for regulating a velocity of the subject vehicle to a nominal velocity; an adjacent-lane monitoring function arrangement; a turning assistance function arrangement that, in response to an incoming signal indicating an imminent turning process that requires crossing an adjacent lane, monitors a traffic in the adjacent lane with the aid of the adjacent-lane monitoring function arrangement, and, as a function of a location and a velocity of a traffic participant in the adjacent lane, determines a spatial and temporal window for moving into the adjacent lane and adapts the nominal velocity to the window.
