An environment simulator is configured to simulate the environment of the vehicle, and transmits data about the environment to a sensor simulator, which is configured to simulate at least one sensor of the vehicle dependent on the data about the environment for detecting the environment and to output the image data dependent on its simulation. The environment simulator is designed to determine the data about the environment at simulation clock times and to transmit these to the sensor simulator dependent on the simulation clock times, and wherein the sensor simulator is configured to output the image data at sensor clock times.

Abstract: Methods and apparatuses for coating a flexible substrate are provided. The flexible substrate is guided over a process roller. The flexible substrate has a first protective film, which is removed from the flexible substrate before the flexible substrate reaches a coating zone of a coating device located opposite the process roller. The first protective film is removed from the flexible substrate after the flexible substrate has formed a mechanical contact with the surface of the process roller. A second protective film is applied to the coated side of the flexible substrate after the flexible substrate has left the coating zone of the coating device and before the mechanical contact between the process roller and the flexible substrate is ended.
