Method of operating a motor vehicle, system
A method for operating a motor vehicle. A deviation of a current driving position of a driver of the motor vehicle from an expected reference driving position of the driver is determined, and the motor vehicle is controlled depending on the determined deviation.
1 . A method for operating a motor vehicle, the method comprising the following steps:
determining a deviation of a current driving position of a driver of the motor vehicle from an expected reference driving position of the driver; and
controlling the motor vehicle as a function of the determined deviation,
wherein the deviation is a distance between a current driving position of a body part of the driver and an expected reference driving position of the body part, and the deviation is determined in a predefined direction of the motor vehicle.
2 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein a drive device of the motor vehicle, and/or a brake device of the motor vehicle, and/or a display device of the motor vehicle, and/or a communication module of the motor vehicle, is controlled as a function of the determined deviation.
3 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein the current driving position is determined by determining a current position of a user device assigned to the driver.
4 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein, based on determining that the current driving position in a forward travel direction of the motor vehicle is behind the reference driving position, a drive device of the motor vehicle is controlled in such a way that a drive torque provided by the drive device is reduced or limited.
5 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein, based on determining that the current driving position in a forward travel direction of the motor vehicle is ahead of the reference driving position, a braking device of the motor vehicle is controlled in such a way that a braking torque provided by the braking device is reduced or limited.
6 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein a cornering technique currently used by the driver is determined as a function of the deviation and a lean angle of the motor vehicle, and the motor vehicle is controlled as a function of the determined cornering technique.
7 . The method according to claim 6 , wherein at least one assistance system of the motor vehicle is selectively enabled or disabled as a function of the determined cornering technique.
8 . The method according to claim 6 , wherein a display device of the motor vehicle and/or a communication module of the motor vehicle, is controlled in such a way that the display device and/or the communication module provide the driver with information relating to the determined cornering technique.
9 . A system with a motor vehicle, comprising:
at least one vehicle communicator arranged on the motor vehicle;
at least one user device that can be operated separately from the motor vehicle and is assigned to a driver of the motor vehicle;
an evaluation device;
wherein the vehicle communicator configured to receive signals transmitted by the user device, and the evaluation device is configured to, depending on the received signals, determine a deviation of a current driving position of the driver from an expected reference driving position of the driver;
a control device configured to control the motor vehicle, the control device being configured to control the motor vehicle as a function of the determined deviation,
wherein the deviation is a distance between a current driving position of a body part of the driver and an expected reference driving position of the body part, and the deviation is determined in a predefined direction of the motor vehicle.
10 . The system according to claim 9 , further comprising:
at least one further vehicle communicator, wherein the vehicle communicator and the further vehicle communicator are arranged spaced apart from each other on the motor vehicle.
11 . The system according to claim 9 , wherein at least one of the at least one communicator is configured as a Bluetooth low energy module (BLE module), and/or at least one of the at least one vehicle communicator is configured as an ultra-wideband module (UWB module).
12 . The system according to claim 9 , wherein the user device is a smartphone or as a smartwatch.
13 . The system according to claim 9 , wherein the user device is integrated into a garment for the driver.
14 . The system according to claim 13 , further comprising:
at least one further user device, wherein the user device and the further user device are integrated into respective different sleeves of the garment.
