  • Publication number: 20220299992
    Abstract: A method for the at least assisted crossing of a junction by a motor vehicle. The method includes: receiving signals from the surroundings, which represent surroundings of the motor vehicle that at least partially include a junction, generating remote control signals for remotely controlling a lateral guidance and/or longitudinal guidance of the motor vehicle based on the signals from the surroundings in such a way that when remotely controlling the lateral guidance and/or longitudinal guidance of the motor vehicle based on the remote control signals, the motor vehicle crosses the junction in an at least assisted manner, outputting the generated remote control signals. A device, a computer program, and a machine-readable memory medium, are also described.

  • Publication number: 20220289201
    Abstract: A method for the at least assisted merging of a motor vehicle into a traffic lane. The method includes: determining that a motor vehicle is to be merged into the traffic lane, receiving signals from the surroundings, which represent surroundings of the motor vehicle including at least partially the traffic lane, generating remote control signals for remotely controlling a lateral guidance and/or a longitudinal guidance of the motor vehicle based on the signals from the surroundings, in order to at least assist the motor vehicle during the remote control on the basis of the remote control signals in merging into the traffic lane, outputting the generated remote control signals. A device, a computer program, and a machine-readable memory medium, are also described.

  • Patent number: 10013658
    Abstract: A control device in a vehicle includes a unit for calculating, during operation of the vehicle, on the basis of at least one input variable ascertained during operation, at least one output variable for a control system of functions of the vehicle. The control device performs the calculation of the output variables using a Bayesian regression of training values ascertained, before operation, for the output variable and the input variable.

  • Patent number: 6148790
    Abstract: In a method of operating an internal combustion engine, in a motor vehicle in particular, fuel is injected directly into a combustion chamber of the engine either during an intake phase in a first mode of operation or during a compression phase in a second mode of operation. In this method, fuel is injected at intervals corresponding to predetermined angle of rotation distances of a shaft of the engine. The interval corresponds to larger angle of rotation distances at a high engine rpm and a high load applied to the combustion engine than at a medium or low engine rpm and a medium or low engine load.
