Driver assistance system for a motor vehicle
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A driver assistance system for a motor vehicle, comprising:
- a controller configured to control an acceleration of the motor vehicle according to a setpoint acceleration; and
an input coupling unit configured to couple a driver-generated increment of additional acceleration predefinable by the driver of the vehicle prior to an acceleration event into the driver assistance system,whereinthe controller comprises an acceleration controller, which receives the setpoint acceleration; and
the input coupling unit is operatively configured upstream of the acceleration controller and generates, in response to operation of an operating element by the driver during the acceleration event, the setpoint acceleration by superimposing at least a portion of the predefined increment of additional acceleration on a system acceleration of the driver assistance system, the portion of the predefined increment of additional acceleration coupled into the driver assistance system being proportional to an amount of actuation of the operating element by the driver during the acceleration event.

Abstract
A driver assistance system for a motor vehicle has a controller within a speed and/or distance regulator, which controller is used for the regulation of the acceleration of the motor vehicle according to a setpoint acceleration. The driver assistance system also includes an input coupling unit for coupling an additional acceleration that can be predefined by the driver of the motor vehicle into the system.

8. A method for controlling an acceleration of a motor vehicle, the method comprising the acts of:
-
predefining by driver operation of an operating element of the vehicle a driver-generated increment of additional acceleration prior to an acceleration event; generating a setpoint acceleration by way of the controller of a driver assistance system of the motor vehicle; and during the acceleration event coupling into the driver assistance system a at least a portion of the predefined increment of additional acceleration, the portion of the predefined increment of additional acceleration coupled into the driver assistance system being proportional to an amount of actuation of the operating element by the driver, wherein the generating of the setpoint acceleration during the acceleration event further comprises the act of superimposing the predefined increment of additional acceleration on a system acceleration generated by the driver assistance system of the motor vehicle. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13)
