Embodiment Construction

[0027] figure 1 is a schematic diagram of a motor vehicle 101 with four wheels 102 . The motor vehicle 101 is driven by a drive engine 103 which may be, for example, an internal combustion engine, an electric motor or a hybrid electric motor. The drive engine 103 generates engine torque, which is sent to two or four wheels 102 via a drive train (not shown in the figure) to drive these wheels 102 . The drive engine 103 is controlled by the driver of the vehicle 101 by means of an accelerator pedal 104 . Generally, the position of the accelerator pedal 104 corresponds to an assigned engine speed request and / or a driver drive torque request. figure 1 A change in the position of the accelerator pedal in the direction of actuation indicated by arrow 105 here causes an increase in the engine speed and / or an increase in the drive torque, which is made possible by driving the engine 103 .

[0028]In one configuration, the accelerator pedal 104 is assigned a force control element 10...

Abstract

The invention relates to methods for assisting an operator of a vehicle (101) approaching a set of traffic lights (201) which allows a stop line (203) to be crossed in at least one first mode of operation while not allowing the stop line (203) to be crossed in a second mode of operation. According to said method, (i) the vehicle (101) receives a signal describing the current mode of operation of the set of traffic lights and the time left until the mode of operation changes, (ii) verification is made in the vehicle (101) on the basis of the received signal whether the vehicle (101) can reach the stop line (203) at a speed selected within a predefined speed range while the set of traffic lights (201) is in the first mode of operation, and (iii) a speed of the vehicle (101) is influenced and / or a recommendation to influence the speed is issued in accordance with the result of the verification process.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to methods and devices for assisting a vehicle operator. In this context, in particular, assistance is provided with regard to traffic signal groups, which in one operating state allow crossing of a stop line and in another operating state do not allow crossing of the stop line. Background technique [0002] In road traffic, groups of traffic lights are often used to control traffic flow. Traffic signal groups are often assigned to stop lines, in a first operating state of the traffic signal group, vehicles can pass the stop line, and in a second operating state of the traffic signal group, vehicles are not allowed to cross the stop line. The first operating state of the traffic light cluster is often indicated by a red light and the second operating state by a green light. [0003] Serious accidents often occur when a vehicle crosses a stop line assigned to a traffic light group when the light is red. A reason for this...
