Method for determining relative speed between two vehicles, involves receiving distance signal from distance sensor, where rear end of vehicle is provided at distance sensor transverse to travel direction of another vehicle

摘要

The method involves receiving a distance signal from a distance sensor (16). A rear end of a vehicle (14) is provided at distance sensor transverse to a travel direction (12) of another vehicle (10). The distance signal represents a distance of the former vehicle from the distance sensor. Another distance signal is obtained from another distance sensor (18). Another distance signal represents a distance of the former vehicle from another distance sensor. Independent claims are also included for the following: (1) a control device for the execution of the method; and (2) a computer program product with a program code.
