Abstract: A method for the optimized use of a parking area. Vehicles which are to be parked on the parking area are each assigned a parking space, the vehicles navigating to the respective assigned parking space, in particular autonomously. Furthermore, vehicles may carry out a change of the parking space in order to enable an improved use of the available parking area or a faster availability of the vehicle, whereby overall an optimized use of the parking area is achieved. Initially, an available range of the respective vehicles is ascertained, and the assignment of the respective parking space and/or a possible change of the parking space are made dependent on the available range of the individual vehicles. The available range of a vehicle is in particular described by a residual fuel amount or a charge state of the vehicle.

Abstract: The approach presented here relates to a method for creating an optimized localization map for a vehicle. The method encompasses a step of furnishing at least one localization map that represents at least one position, read in by a vehicle reading-in unit, of a landmark. The method further encompasses a step of reading in a radar map via an interface, the radar map having or mapping at least one further position, furnished by way of radar measurement by a satellite, of the landmark in the radar map. Lastly, the method encompasses a step of generating and storing an optimized localization map using the localization map and the radar map, such that upon generation of the optimized localization map, the read-in position of the landmark is altered using the further position to yield a modified position of the landmark, and is stored in order to create the optimized localization map.

Abstract: A method for the automatic control of the longitudinal dynamics of a vehicle is provided by which vehicles traveling ahead are detected. If an upcoming traffic jam is detected, the vehicle is decelerated until a predefined distance behind the tail end of the traffic jam is reached. When the predefined distance from the traffic jam tail end has been reached, the vehicle automatically controlled in its longitudinal dynamics is able to close the remaining, predefined distance to the traffic jam tail end at a low differential velocity in comparison to the velocity of the traffic jam tail end. Using an additional rear sensor system that senses trailing vehicles, the controlled vehicle is made to close the distance to the traffic jam tail end only if a trailing vehicle was detected.
