Abstract

To determine an activation criterion for outputting brake signals to a vehicle brake system at least one object in the environment of the vehicle is detected. A determination is made whether the vehicle is on a collision course with the object. If so, at least one avoidance criterion is determined, wherein an S-shaped avoidance trajectory of the vehicle is determined, from which at least one extreme value of a lateral acceleration of the vehicle is determined. The extreme value is compared with at least one threshold value. The avoidance criterion is met if the associated extreme value falls below the threshold value, and the activation criterion for the brake application is not met as long as the avoidance criterion is met.
