Abstract:
1. A device for triggering at least one of (1) at least one deceleration device and (2) at least one output-determining actuator element of a vehicle propulsion system, the device comprising: a first surroundings sensing device for providing longitudinal value-optimized measured values; a second surroundings sensing device for providing object lateral extension-optimized measured values; and an analyzer device for receiving output signals of the first and second surroundings sensing devices, and for using the measured values of both the first and second surroundings sensing devices for at least one of (a) object identification and (b) triggering of at least one of (1) the at least one deceleration device and (2) the at least one output-determining actuator element of the propulsion system; wherein one of: (a) the measured values of the second surroundings sensing device are used for at least one of verification and provision of additional information in analyzing the measured values of the first surroundings sensing device; and (b) the measured values of the first surroundings sensing device are used for at least one of verification and provision of additional information in analyzing the measured values of the second surroundings sensing device.
