Patent ID: 8209090

Claim:
A method for executing a collision avoidance maneuver of a motor vehicle, the method comprising: detecting an object ( 104 ) in the surroundings of the vehicle ( 101 ) with which the motor vehicle ( 101 ) is on a collision course; determining a path for the collision avoidance maneuver of the motor vehicle ( 101 ), wherein if the path is given by a sigmoid, the shape of which is determined by at least one parameter (B; a; c), with the parameter (B; a; c) being established dependent on at least one of a speed (v) of the motor vehicle and a desired maneuver width (D) of the collision avoidance maneuver; determining a start point at which the collision avoidance maneuver is started depending on the path established; and influencing a steering system of the motor vehicle ( 101 ) depending on the path established after the motor vehicle ( 101 ) has reached the start point, wherein in an avoiding maneuver to the left in the vehicle's longitudinal direction, B = D c = 1 a ⁢ ln ⁡ ( D y tol - 1 ) applies to the parameters, where D is the maneuver width of the collision avoidance maneuver and y tol designates a predetermined tolerance.
