Abstract

A method and an assistance system support a lane change by a motor vehicle. In the method, objects detected by a rearward-directed environment sensor system are each assigned to a direction lane of a road on which the motor vehicle is travelling. The direction lane assignment is classified as stable when no switch has occurred for at least a predefined time-period in the object-specific direction lane assignments. A classification as unstable is made as soon as such a switch occurs. As-long-as the direction lane assignment is classified as stable, a lane change by the motor vehicle from the currently travelled lane to an adjacent lane is supported taking into account only objects assigned to this adjacent lane. If a safe lane change is possible in view of the objects taken into account according to a predefined position criterion, this is signaled automatically to support the lane change.

Abstract

A method for determining the standardized sooting tendency of a substance mixture and representative indices for calculating an overall sooting tendency. The sooting tendency is determined using gas-chromatographic component analysis of hydrocarbon types and oxygenates of a substance mixture, in particular of a fuel or of an additive via a reformulyzer analysis. A standardized total yield sooting index) of substance mixtures according to YSITotal=ΣYSIi·Vi/100 is determined, wherein the volumetric proportion (Vi) of each reformulyzer subgroup (i) is multiplied by that of the yield sooting index (YSIi) associated with the reformulyzer subgroup (i), according to which the determined values are summated to the total yield sooting index (YSITotal). Furthermore, method variants are described for determining yield sooting indices (YSIi-M, YSIi-Mid, YSIi-GewM) representing the yield sooting index (YSIi) associated with the subgroups (i).

Abstract

The disclosure relates to a method and a driver assistance system for assisted reversing with a vehicle-trailer combination, wherein, initially when it is driven forwards, its forward trajectory is stored and objects arranged laterally next to the forward trajectory are detected. A reversing trajectory, which deviates as little as possible from the driven forward trajectory, is planned. The detected object is classified as a collision object if it lies in the planned reversing trajectory. In such case, a new reversing trajectory that is free of collision objects is generated. The trailer is reversed along the new reversing trajectory. A current deviation of an actual reversing trajectory of the trailer from the new reversing trajectory is thereby determined, and when the current deviation is greater than a permissible limit deviation, the trailer is stopped to allow performing a corrective action. The assisted reversing is resumed after corrective action has been performed.
