Method for executing an evasive maneuver, computer program product and motor vehicle
First Claim
1. A method for executing an evasive maneuver of a motor vehicle having at least one control device for operating the motor vehicle, the method comprising:
- initiating, by a processor, an evasive maneuver when an obstacle is detected in a drive path of the motor vehicle;
determining, by the processor a nominal trajectory of the motor vehicle to execute the evasive maneuver;
actuating, by the processor the at least one control device causing the motor vehicle to drive along the nominal trajectory under normal road conditions;
determining, by the processor, when the motor vehicle is not travelling along the nominal trajectory by comparing the nominal trajectory and an actual trajectory of the motor vehicle;
determining current driving dynamics and road conditions based upon the difference between the nominal trajectory and the actual trajectory;
determining, by the processor, an alternative trajectory as a function of the determined current driving dynamics and road conditions when the motor vehicle is not travelling along the nominal trajectory; and
actuating, by the processor, the at least one control device causing the motor vehicle to drive along the alternative trajectory.

Abstract
A method, control unit and computer program product is disclosed for executing an evasive maneuver of a motor vehicle. If an obstacle is detected in the vehicle'"'"'s path, the evasive maneuver is initiated and a nominal trajectory is calculated. Control devices of the motor vehicle are actuated in such a way that the motor vehicle drives along the nominal trajectory under normal road conditions. The evasive maneuver is executed as calculated if the motor vehicle moves along the nominal trajectory. An alternative trajectory, which is actually possible with respect to the driving dynamics under the given road conditions, is calculated based on the reaction of the motor vehicle to the actuation of its control devices if the motor vehicle does not move along the nominal trajectory. The evasive maneuver is executed along the alternative trajectory.
