Abstract

Disclosed is a method of executing a collision avoidance maneuver ahead of an object in the surroundings, with which the vehicle is on a collision course. To allow determining the avoiding path in a simplest possible fashion and, in particular, a simplest possible parameterization of the path, the avoiding path is given by a sigmoid (ƒa(x); ƒa/2(x); ƒ2a(x)), the shape of which is defined by at least one parameter (a; B; c) that is determined depending on the speed of the motor vehicle or a desired maneuver width of the collision avoidance maneuver. Also disclosed is a device which is suitable for implementing the method.
