Advanced Driver Assistance System Having a Sensor Arrangement for Detecting the Distance of the Own Vehicle from a Foreign Object
First Claim
1. An advanced driver assistance system for a vehicle, the advanced driver assistance system comprising:
- a first sensor arrangement for measuring a distance of a first foreign object from the vehicle; and
an electronic control unit for activating vehicle-internal actuators as a function of information obtained from a signal of the first sensor arrangement, wherein;
the first sensor arrangement comprises at least one sensor which is arranged on a first longitudinal side of the vehicle and measures the distance of the first foreign object from the first longitudinal side, andthe control unit comprises a program module which emits a warning message to a driver of the vehicle during a forward drive by a connection to at least one of the actuators when the measured distance of the first foreign object from the first longitudinal side is smaller than a first predefined safety distance.
