Abstract
A method and a device for triggering emergency braking of a vehicle for avoiding a collision or for reducing the severity of a collision, the vehicle having at least one object detection sensor, an ascertainment being made as a function of the detected objects as to whether a collision with an object is imminent and a risk to one's own vehicle in the event of a triggering of emergency braking being ascertained as a function of the current surrounding situation, the triggering threshold for emergency braking being variable in such a way that the probability for a false triggering is increased if a calculated risk posed by emergency braking is low and the triggering threshold for emergency braking being variable in such a way that the probability for a false triggering is lowered if a calculated risk posed by emergency braking is higher.
