First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method for ascertaining an imminence of an unavoidable collision of a vehicle with at least one object, comprising:
- predetermining, as a function of a maximum possible longitudinal acceleration and a maximum possible lateral acceleration of the vehicle and of the at least one object, all locations within a determinable prediction time interval that are attainable by the maximum possible longitudinal acceleration and the maximum lateral acceleration within the determinable prediction time interval; and
recognizing the imminence of the unavoidable collision between the vehicle and the at least one object by taking into account extensions of the vehicle and of the at least one object.

Abstract
A method and a device for ascertaining the imminence of an unavoidable collision of a vehicle with an object, all locations within a determinable prediction time interval being predetermined as a function of the maximum possible longitudinal acceleration and lateral acceleration of the vehicle and of the at least one object. The imminence of an unavoidable collision between the vehicle and the object may be recognized, also taking into account the extension of the vehicle and of the at least one object.

11. A device for ascertaining an imminence of an unavoidable collision of a vehicle with at least one object, comprising:
-
an input element by which the device is supplied with an input signal from at least one of a radar, a lidar, and a video sensor;
an ascertainment unit for ascertaining the imminence of the unavoidable collision with the least one object; and
an output element for triggering another device by which, upon recognition of the unavoidable collision, a measure is initiated for at least one of reducing a severity of the unavoidable collision and reducing a risk of injury to a vehicle occupant. - View Dependent Claims (12)
