Safety system for a means of transportation and a method relating to the same
First Claim
1. A safety system corresponding to an accident avoidance system and for a motor vehicle that includes at least one steering system and at least one brake system, comprising:
- at least one detection unit for detecting internal and external conditions including vehicle parameters and a vehicle environment;
at least one evaluation unit, wherein;
the at least one evaluation unit compiles conditions detected by the at least one detection unit in the form of data and information,the at least one evaluation unit evaluates the detected conditions with respect to a hazard potential,the at least one evaluation unit determines from the data and information at least one driving variation, the determination including determining which of an optimal avoidance trajectory and at least one automatic emergency braking action is warranted, andwhen or after an operator of the motor vehicle initiates a driving maneuver corresponding to one of an avoidance maneuver and an emergency braking maneuver, the at least one evaluation unit;
outputs to the operator an optimized form of the driving maneuver corresponding to the optimal avoidance trajectory, in an instance where the at least one evaluation unit determines that the optimal avoidance trajectory is warranted; and
at least one of outputs to the operator a warning and initiates the at least one automatic emergency braking action, in an instance where the at least one evaluation unit determines that the at least one automatic emergency braking action is warranted.

Abstract
In order to enhance a safety system, in particular an accident avoidance system for a means of transportation, in particular a motor vehicle, having at least one steering system and at least one brake system in such a way that an avoidance maneuver initiated by the operator of the means of transportation when approaching an obstacle is supported with respect to both the device and the method, thus preventing an accident through collision, the evaluation unit determines at least one driving variation, in particular at least one avoidance trajectory and/or at least one automatic emergency braking action from the data and information and when or after the operator of the means of transportation initiates a driving maneuver, in particular an avoidance maneuver or an emergency braking maneuver, the safety system, in particular the evaluation unit specifies, supports and/or suggests this driving maneuver in an optimized form, in particular in the form of an optimal avoidance trajectory or in the form of an automatic emergency braking.

6. A computer-implemented method of a vehicle safety system comprising at least one computer processor, for increasing safety by avoiding accidents in road traffic, the method comprising:
-
detecting, by the processor, internal and external conditions associated with parameters and an environment of a motor vehicle; compiling, by the processor, the detected conditions in the form of data and information; evaluating, by the processor, the detected conditions with respect to a hazard potential; determining, by the processor and from the data and information, at least one driving variation, the determination including determining which of an optimal avoidance trajectory and at least one automatic emergency braking is warranted; and one of during a driving maneuver and after the driving maneuver corresponding to one of an avoidance trajectory and an automatic emergency braking; outputting, by the processor and to the operator, an optimized form of the driving maneuver corresponding to the optimal avoidance trajectory, in an instance where the determination is that the optimal avoidance trajectory is warranted; and at least one of outputting to the operator a warning and initiating the at least one automatic emergency braking, by the processor, in an instance where the determination is that the at least one emergency braking is warranted. - View Dependent Claims (7, 8, 9, 10, 11)
