Assignee: MERCEDES-BENZ GROUP AG
Field: Transport (Mechanical engineering)
Classification: CPC B | IPC B

Claim 6:
7. A method for a vehicle, the method comprising:
detecting, laterally static and laterally dynamic objects, which the vehicle is to drive past, as lateral boundary objects;
detecting a respective lateral distance of the vehicle from each detected lateral boundary objects;
determining a speed of the detected lateral boundary objects;
classifying, at least the detected laterally dynamic objects, according to a type of laterally dynamic object;
selecting a first characteristic curve from a set of characteristic curves based on an environmental situation predetermined depending on detected lateral boundary objects on a left lane side of the vehicle;
selecting a second characteristic curve from the set of characteristic curves based on an environmental situation predetermined depending on detected lateral boundary objects on a right lane side of the vehicle;
adding the first and second characteristic curves in an ordinate direction to form a third characteristic curve;
determining a distance between the vehicle and the detected lateral boundary objects on the left and right lane sides of the vehicle;
determining a maximum speed of the vehicle to drive past the detected boundary objects on the left and right lane sides of the vehicle based on the determined distance; and
controlling the vehicle using the determined maximum speed as the vehicle drives past the detected boundary objects on the left and right lane sides of the vehicle.
