  "textContent": "The disclosure relates to a method for determining a braking distance estimate (D) for a vehicle (10) travelling along a trajectory (T) on a roadway (R) at a known current vehicle speed (Vo). The braking distance estimate (D) is an estimate of a distance along the trajectory (T) needed by the vehicle (10) for reducing the current vehicle speed (Vo) to a target vehicle speed (V) while a braking system is activated. The method comprises receiving a friction information (F, F, ..., F) for each of a plurality of trajectory segments (T, T, ..., T) lying ahead of the vehicle (10) and calculating a segment end speed (V, V, ..., V) for each trajectory segment (T, T, ..., T) until for an end segment (T) a segment end speed (V) is determined which equals the target vehicle speed (V) or is lower than the target vehicle speed (V). Furthermore, an intra-segment length (li) within the end segment (T) is determined. The braking distance estimate (D) is determined as the sum of the lengths (l, l, .., l) of the trajectory segments (T, T, ..., T) having a segment end speed (V, V, ..., V) exceeding the target vehicle speed (V) and the intra-segment length (li). Additionally, a method for operating a driver assistance system (12) of a vehicle (10) is presented. Moreover, a data processing apparatus (14, 28) and a computer program (22, 36) are explained.",
