Method for detecting an object in the blind spot of a vehicle and driver assistance system for detecting an object in the blind spot of a vehicle

摘要

The method involves transmitting detection signals (28-45) of a signal packet by sensor units (23, 26). Signals received by the sensor units and reflected at an object are evaluated by a control and evaluation unit (24). The detection signals with different horizontal angular breadths are transmitted, and the sensor units are formed as sensor arrays with individual infrared sensors. One of the sensor units is arranged at a zero point. Large data amount is generated with respect to information of object detection. An independent claim is also included for a driver assistance system for detecting an object in a dead angle region of a vehicle.
