Driving assistance apparatus for assistance with driving along narrow roadways

Abstract

The invention relates to a driving assistance apparatus (10) for a motor vehicle for assistance with driving along narrow roadways. The apparatus (10) comprises a data acquisition unit 12 for acquiring data on the route to be covered from wheel and steering angle sensors (14, 16) and a storage unit (18) for recording the route data. A triggering unit (20) is provided for triggering the motor vehicle on the basis of the recorded route data. Thus the vehicle may be enabled to drive along the recorded route in the same or reverse direction. A satellite navigation receiver (28) is included for determining boundary value position data at the time of commencement and / or end of the route. The storage unit 18 stores the boundary value position data for the route data. An approach checking unit 30 is provided, which checks whether the motor vehicle is approaching the stored commencement or end of the route and in this case, generates a position approach signal. When an end point is signalled, it may be suggested to the driver that automatic driving along the trajectory should be performed.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a motor vehicle driving support device for supporting motor vehicles running on narrow lanes, which has a data acquisition unit for collecting driving distance data and a storage unit for recording distance data, which are composed of wheel sensors and steering angle sensors, and based on the The recorded distance data is the control unit that drives the motor vehicle in the same or opposite direction to the recorded distance. Background technique [0002] Patent document EP1 858 744 B1 already discloses this type of driving support device, in this device, the short road trajectory of about 5 meters traveled by the relevant motor vehicle and measured by wheel sensors and steering angle sensors is recorded and can be Used for automatic or semi-automatic driving in the same or opposite direction, so that motor vehicles can drive in narrow road areas, such as driving into garages or driving out of narrow environments. The disadva...
