  • Publication number: 20240124056
    Abstract: A control unit is provided for operating a driver assistance system for automated lateral guidance of a motor vehicle. The control unit is configured, in a first operating state of the driver assistance system, to determine a target position of a steering wheel of the motor vehicle on the basis of the target steering angle of the motor vehicle which is stipulated by the driver assistance system in the first operating state, and to determine a quotient from the target steering angle which is stipulated by the driver assistance system in the first operating state, and from the target position which is determined therefrom, in order to determine a conversion factor.

  • Patent number: 11273824
    Abstract: An apparatus activates/deactivates a motor vehicle safety system during a turning maneuver. The safety system is designed to carry out a braking operation of the motor vehicle during a turning maneuver if a probability of a collision of the motor vehicle with oncoming traffic is equal to or greater than a determined threshold value. The apparatus includes a detection unit for detecting an actual driving behavior of the vehicle driver, a determining unit for determining whether the actual driver behavior corresponds to a predefined sporty driving behavior, and a control unit for deactivating the safety system prior to carrying out the braking operation when the actual driving behavior corresponds to a predefined sporty driving behavior.

  • Publication number: 20050267733
    Abstract: A system and method are provided for a translation data exchange system. In an embodiment, the translation data exchange system receives a release notification from a development environment. The release notification may indicate that one or more source files have been (or are in the process of being) released to a development repository. The translation data exchange system may identify one or more released source files having a single interchange data format. In an embodiment, the identified source files are automatically extracted from the development environment. Each extracted source file may include text to be translated by a translation system.
