Detection of parallel objects with multi-beam sensor involves determining anticipated reflection target region for detected target object and determining whether reflection can be measured in target region

摘要

The method involves detection of objects moving essentially parallel to a vehicle with a distance sensor of a distance regulator. It involves detecting a potentially oblong target object (5) moving essentially parallel to the direction of motion of the motor vehicle in the vicinity of a channel (i) of the distance sensor, determining an anticipated reflection target region for the target object and determining whether a reflection can be measured in the target region.
