DEVICE AND METHOD FOR SUPPORTING A DRIVER OF A MOTOR VEHICLE DURING A DRIVING MANEUVER
First Claim
1. A method for supporting a driver of a motor vehicle during a driving maneuver, during which at least one of longitudinal guidance and lateral guidance is performed in an automated manner, the method comprising:
- determining at least one trajectory for performing the driving maneuver;
guiding the vehicle via automatic control along the at least one trajectory;
monitoring the surroundings of the vehicle during the driving maneuver; and
when the driver intervenes in the steering while the lateral guidance is being performed in an automated manner or when the driver operates the accelerator while longitudinal guidance is being performed in an automated manner or when the driver intervenes in the steering or when the driver operates the accelerator when longitudinal guidance and lateral guidance are being performed in an automated manner, returning control of the vehicle to the driver when a driving path resulting from operation of the steering wheel or the accelerator does not result in an endangerment to the surroundings of the vehicle and control is not transferred to the driver in the case of an imminent endangerment to the surroundings.

Abstract
A method and device for supporting a driver of a motor vehicle during a driving maneuver during which longitudinal guidance and/or lateral guidance is/are performed in an automated manner. A trajectory for performing the driving maneuver being determined and the vehicle being guided with automatic control along the trajectory, while the surroundings of the vehicle is being monitored during the driving maneuver. If the driver intervenes in the steering while lateral guidance is being performed or if the driver operates the accelerator while longitudinal guidance is being performed or if the driver intervenes in the steering or operates the accelerator while longitudinal guidance and lateral guidance are being performed, the control of the vehicle is returned to the driver. In the case of an imminent endangerment to the surroundings, control is not transferred to the driver.

8. A device for supporting a driver of a motor vehicle during a driving maneuver, during which at least one of longitudinal guidance and lateral guidance is performed in an automated manner, comprising:
-
a calculating arrangement for calculating the at least one trajectory for performing the driving maneuver and for automatically controlling the vehicle along the at least one trajectory; a monitoring arrangement for monitoring the surroundings of the vehicle during the driving maneuver; and a checking arrangement for checking whether a driving path resulting from operation of the steering wheel or the accelerator results in an endangerment to the vehicle surroundings, so as to return control of the vehicle to the driver if a driving path resulting from the operating of the steering wheel or the accelerator does not result in an endangerment to the surroundings of the vehicle and so as to not return control to the driver in the event of an imminent endangerment to the surroundings. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10)
