Method and device for assisting a driver of a vehicle, in particular a commercial vehicle
First Claim
1. A method for assisting a driver of a vehicle (1), the vehicle (1) having:
- at least one vehicle tire (3) embodied as a pneumatic tire, at least one temperature sensor (17) configured to measure a temperature of the at least one vehicle tire (3), an indicating device (41) configured to indicate to the driver of the vehicle (1) information regarding the state of the at least one vehicle tire (3), a closed loop control device and/or open loop control device (39) connected to the temperature sensor (17) in a signal-transmitting manner, the closed loop control device and/or open loop control device (39) being configured to control an indication procedure of the indicating device (41) in a closed loop and/or open loop manner, the closed loop control device and/or open loop control device (39) being switchable into multiple warning stages, the method comprising;
if at least one temperature value measured by the temperature sensor (17) exceeds a first defined threshold value (TG1), the closed loop control device and/or the open loop control device (39) switching in a self-acting manner into a first warning stage in which it is indicated to the driver by the indicating device (41) that the driver is to stop the vehicle (1) within a defined period of time and/or within a defined section of road and/or that the driver is not to exceed a defined speed value with the vehicle (1), andif the measured temperature value exceeds a second defined threshold value (TG2), greater than the first threshold value (TG1), the closed loop control device and/or open loop control device (39) switching in a self-acting manner into a second warning stage in which it is indicated to the driver by the indicating device (41) that the driver is to stop the vehicle (1) immediately.

Abstract
In a method for assisting a driver of a vehicle, a closed loop control device and/or open loop control device is switchable into multiple warning stages such that: if at least one temperature value measured by a temperature sensor exceeds a first defined threshold value, the closed loop control device and/or open loop control device switches into a first warning stage in which it is indicated to the driver to stop the vehicle within a defined period of time and/or within a defined section of road and/or that the driver is not to exceed a defined speed value. If the measured temperature value exceeds a second defined threshold value, greater than the first threshold value, the closed loop control device and/or open loop control device switches into a second warning stage in which it is indicated to the driver that the driver is to stop the vehicle immediately.
