Driver assistance system

摘要

The invention provides a driver assistance method, comprising the steps of: sensing a vehicle's state and the environment, on the basis of sensing output signals, determining whether a critical state of the vehicle is to be expected in the future, if yes, determining a total amount and a time duration of an activation of at least one vehicle actuator required in order to avoid occurrence of the critical state, the activation being of a nature which can be sensed by the driver of the vehicle, and partially performing, by a control module, the activation, i.e. for a portion of the amount and/or a portion of the time duration of the determined total amount and time duration.

1. Automated driver assistance method, the method using an artificial computing unit and one or more sensors, the method comprising the steps of:
sensing a vehicle's state and the environment, on the basis of sensing output signals, determining whether or not a critical state of the vehicle is to be expected in the future, if yes, determining a total amount and a time duration of an activation of at least one vehicle actuator that leads to a change in physical movement parameters of the vehicle required in order to avoid occurrence of the critical state, and modifying the movement of the vehicle by performing a part of the activation by actuating the at least one vehicle actuator for a portion of the determined total amount and/or a portion of the determined time duration, wherein the part of the activation is a vehicle actuation or control that only is performed for a short time period, for a specific distance covered by the vehicle, or a specific offset from a current position and is set in association with a current speed or a currently executed maneuver or driving action performed by the vehicle and is of a nature which can be sensed by the driver of the vehicle, wherein, after the part of the activation is performed, no other part of said activation required in order to avoid occurrence of the critical state is performed.
