METHOD AND DRIVER ASSISTANCE SYSTEM FOR OPERATING A VEHICLE - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18363837 titled 'METHOD AND DRIVER ASSISTANCE SYSTEM FOR OPERATING A VEHICLE

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a method for operating a vehicle with a driver assistance system that regulates the distance from a preceding target object using system interventions in the brake system and/or drive system of the vehicle to maintain a speed-dependent safety distance. The distance function is degraded during cornering of the vehicle.

  • The driver assistance system regulates the distance from a preceding target object.
  • System interventions are made in the brake system and/or drive system of the vehicle.
  • The distance function ensures a speed-dependent safety distance.
  • The distance function is degraded during cornering of the vehicle.

Potential Applications

This technology could be applied in autonomous vehicles, advanced driver assistance systems, and collision avoidance systems.

Problems Solved

This technology helps in maintaining a safe distance from preceding vehicles, especially during cornering, reducing the risk of collisions.

Benefits

The system enhances overall road safety by regulating the distance from other vehicles and ensuring a safe driving experience.

Potential Commercial Applications

This technology could be integrated into vehicles by automotive manufacturers to enhance driver safety and improve the performance of driver assistance systems.

Possible Prior Art

One possible prior art could be existing driver assistance systems that regulate distance from other vehicles but may not specifically address the degradation of the distance function during cornering.

=== What are the specific system interventions made in the brake system and drive system of the vehicle? The specific system interventions involve adjusting the braking force and/or engine power to maintain the desired safety distance from the preceding target object.

=== How does the distance function degrade during cornering of the vehicle? The distance function degrades during cornering as the system may prioritize steering control over maintaining the set safety distance, allowing for more flexibility in the vehicle's movement.


Original Abstract Submitted

A method for operating a vehicle with a driver assistance system. A distance function of the driver assistance system regulates a distance from a preceding target object using system interventions in a brake system and/or a drive system of the vehicle to a speed-dependent safety distance, wherein the distance function is degraded during cornering of the vehicle.
