  • Patent number: 11971720
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for preventing a collision between an autonomous vehicle (A) and a user (B) in a movement range of the autonomous vehicle comprising the steps: receiving a time-dependent, planned path (P1) of the autonomous vehicle (A) and a time-dependent, planned path (P2) of the user (B), determining a time-dependent path network by means of a path network unit (8), wherein the time-dependent path network describes the planned paths (P1, P2), determining collision information which describes an overlap of the planned paths (P1, P2) in the time-dependent path network, determining a safe zone (23) for the user on the basis of the collision information, wherein the safe zone (23) describes an area in the movement range which is safe for the user (B) in respect of a collision with the autonomous vehicle (A), and making available a display (20) for the user (B) by means of a display device (19), wherein the display (20) describes the safe zone (23).

  • Patent number: 10403143
    Abstract: A traffic monitoring system for a traffic area with parking surfaces for vehicles or a freely arrangeable row of vehicles includes overhead radar sensors oriented towards the area for capturing a chronological sequence of digital radar images thereof. An analyzing unit detects vehicles parked on the area and ascertains locations and dimensions thereof from the captured sequence and determines an occupancy state of the surfaces from a data comparison of the ascertained locations and dimensions of parked vehicles with configured geodata of surfaces. The parking surface is occupied or free for a vehicle, and a parking surface for a freely arrangeable row of vehicles is occupied or provided by one or more free parking spaces. An image output unit outputs a map view of the area with marked surfaces and the current occupancy state of the surfaces. The traffic monitoring system allows a more effective monitoring of the area.

  • Patent number: 10210758
    Abstract: A method supports parking of placement vehicles in a parking system of a parking lot having at least one parking system apparatus. A parking region of the parking lot is scanned by a parking region sensor of the parking system and, based on the sensor information, a free and/or an occupied parking space and/or a free and/or an occupied parking area is identified by the parking system apparatus. A parking system for a parking lot for supported parking of placement vehicles is provided. The parking system has at least one parking system apparatus with a parking region sensor for identifying a parking space and/or a parking area of a parking region of the parking lot.
