  • Patent number: 12332347
    Abstract: A method for operating radar sensors in a vehicle. At the outset, the acquired targets are divided into stationary targets and moving targets. The moving targets are then divided into primary targets, whereof the distances from the vehicle are less than a pre-definable threshold value, and secondary targets, whereof the distances from the vehicle are greater than a threshold value. The primary targets are fed to a first tracking device, which ascertains the states of the primary targets. The secondary targets are fed to a second tracking device, which ascertains the states of the secondary targets. The second tracking device carries out a computationally less powerful ascertainment of the states than the first tracking device.

  • Patent number: 12332613
    Abstract: A method of training a control strategy for a control. An exploration strategy for a current version of the control strategy is determined in each of several iterations. Several simulation runs are carried out, in each of which an action is selected in accordance with the exploration strategy, and it being checked if the selected action is safe, until a safe action has been selected or a maximum number of actions greater than or equal to two has been selected. A follow-up state of the state in the sequence of states is ascertained. The sequence of states are collected as data of the simulation run; for the iteration. The value of a loss function is ascertained over the data of the executed simulation runs and the control strategy is adapted so that the value of the loss function is reduced.
