METHOD AND DEVICE FOR AVOIDING A POSSIBLE SUBSEQUENT COLLISION AND FOR REDUCING THE CONSEQUENCES OF AN ACCIDENT RESULTING FROM A COLLISION

摘要

A method and device for avoiding a possible subsequent collision and for reducing the consequences of an accident resulting from a collision are proposed, in which, after an initial collision of the vehicle with a further road user has taken place, an automatic braking intervention by a vehicle safety system is triggered according to a braking model, in that vehicle data is obtained on the basis of the driver's own driving behaviour, the vehicle data which is obtained is buffered in a memory, the category of the road being travelled on at that time is inferred from the buffered vehicle data, an initial distance is determined as a function of the determined road category, and the triggering condition of the brake is determined using this initial distance.
