Problems solved by technology

[0008] This has the disadvantage that the driver tends to reduce his receptivity to the warning signal and ignore it
In the future, the warning signal is perceived as a disturbance and the risk of the driver making a lane change despite the presence of the warning signal increases when the risk of collision is strongly increased
[0009] Furthermore, there is often the problem that the dangerous situation develops so dynamically that the driver cannot react to the warning quickly enough and the vehicle steers into the danger zone

Embodiment Construction

[0084]The present invention provides a lane change assistance function which, by means of hierarchical measures, informs the driver of motor vehicle 1 of the danger of a collision during a possible or planned lane change and avoids the collision by means of suitable measures. Or introduce measures to increase occupant safety in the event of an imminent collision. This function is aimed at the risk of a collision with an overtaking vehicle or with a vehicle being overtaken or with a vehicle in a so-called blind spot of motor vehicle 1 . This function is especially suitable for driving on local roads or motorways at high speeds, but can in principle also be used in urban traffic.

[0085] For the monitoring of the lateral rear spaces 2 , 3 of the motor vehicle 1 , which is envisaged within the scope of the invention, the motor vehicle has suitable environment monitoring devices. A further motor vehicle 4 is shown in the schematic diagram in FIG. 1 as an object to be detected in...

Abstract

The invention relates to a method for avoiding a collision as a vehicle is changing lanes to a target lane, during which objects in a lateral rear space of the vehicle are detected by means of a surrounding area monitoring device and measures for influencing the vehicle are initiated. The method is characterized in that stepped measures are provided, these measures comprising, according to their step, a warning of the driver and / or an intervention in a steering system of the vehicle (1) and / or an influencing of safety means, and that the measures of a selected step are initiated. The step is determined according to a relative position of a detected object with regard to the vehicle and / or a relative velocity between the vehicle and the detected object as well as according to the fulfillment of a lane change condition. The invention also relates to a device suited for carrying out the aforementioned method.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method for collision avoidance when a vehicle changes lanes from a current driving lane to a target lane, in which method an object in the lateral rear space of the vehicle is detected by means of an environment monitoring device and introduced / started Measures used to control the vehicle. [0002] Furthermore, the invention relates to a device suitable for carrying out the method. Background technique [0003] For example, methods are known under the name "lane change assistance systems" in which the driver of a motor vehicle is assisted when changing lanes. In particular with these methods, a warning is triggered to the driver when a danger of a possible collision of the vehicle with an object detected by means of a suitable environment monitoring device is detected. [0004] In particular, German patent document DE 43 13 568 C1 discloses a method for providing guidance assistance for changing a driving lane from a curren...
