Abstract:
1. A method for reducing a reaction delay time of a vehicle safety control device which performs interventions in a vehicle control due to an environmental situation exhibiting a risk of collision, the vehicle safety control device capable of performing a first intervention and a second intervention in the vehicle control to reduce the risk of collision, the second intervention having a higher magnitude than the first intervention, the method comprising: detecting, via the vehicle safety control device, an environmental situation exhibiting a risk of collision, beginning a validation of the environmental situation and performing, via the vehicle safety control device, the first intervention in the vehicle control before completing the validation of the environmental situation exhibiting a risk of collision; wherein the vehicle control comprises a braking device and a steering device, and the first intervention in the vehicle control is a slight braking intervention in the braking device or a slight steering intervention in the steering device which is not intended to be sufficient alone for preventing an impending collision.
