Method and Device for Operating a Vehicle and Vehicle Having Such a Device

摘要

A method and a device control the brake of a vehicle when a rear-end collision is imminent. When an imminent rear-end collision is detected the vehicle is automatically braked. A potential collision time is determined and, depending on the potential collision time, a brake is activated before the occurrence of the same when the vehicle is at a standstill. The brake is automatically deactivated if no rear-end collision is detected at the potential collision time.
