Method for detecting the surroundings of a vehicle and device for carrying out the method

摘要

The method involves recording the object data of the objects detected during the passing of a vehicle (10) in a controller (60) and transferring the detected object data to another controller (110) in a predetermined cycle. The last detected object data is stored in the latter controller in a non-volatile manner when the former controller is switched-off. The last detected object data is transferred back to the former controller when switching-on the ignition of the vehicle and is evaluated by the former controller for detecting the current vehicle surroundings existing after switching-on. An independent claim is included for a device for use in a vehicle assistance system, particularly a flank protection system for detecting the surroundings of a vehicle.
