  • Publication number: 20260166993
    Abstract: A means of locomotion is disclosed herein. The means of locomotion includes a base and a foldable or rollable display. The base is arranged in an interior surface of the means of locomotion and holds the display. The base includes a lifting unit for lowering the display in the surface of the interior, or holding the display rigidly or in such a way that it can be turned. The display is adapted to turn a first portion from a first relative position in relation to a second portion into a second relative position and to vary a representation content automatically in response to the second position being reached.

  • Patent number: 12529573
    Abstract: A method for determining travel information of a vehicle on a predetermined route includes determining a usual travel time on the route and determining a current travel time on the route on the basis of a current traffic flow on the route. The method further includes determining a predicted travel time on the basis of a traffic flow on the route at the time at which the vehicle is expected to travel on said route. The method also includes providing a deviation of the predicted travel time from the usual travel time and providing a deviation of the predicted travel time from the current travel time.

  • Patent number: 12270680
    Abstract: A system and method for translating route guidance between a navigation system and a navigation service when different versions of a map database are being used. The navigation service applies a version translation table to identify differences between the map databases and translates route guidance accordingly before it is communicated to the navigation system.

  • Publication number: 20240160489
    Abstract: A method for allocating resources of a vehicle includes providing a graph. The graph includes a plurality of nodes which are interconnected via edges. Each node is representative of at least one vehicle function. Each edge is representative of a probability of a transition from one of the plurality of nodes to another of the plurality of nodes. The method also includes determining an activated vehicle function which is operated during a journey, and allocating the activated vehicle function to a first node of the plurality of nodes. The method further includes determining the probability of transition of the allocated first node to a further node of the plurality of nodes, and allocating the resources of the vehicle depending on the determined transition probability.

  • Publication number: 20240027209
    Abstract: A device is provided for determining a driving route for a vehicle which has an automated driving mode and a manual driving mode. The device is configured to determine release information relating to the release of the automated driving mode on different road portions of a road network on which the vehicle is travelling. The device is also configured to determine and/or predict availability information relating to the availability of the driver of the vehicle for manually guiding the vehicle longitudinally and/or transversely during a journey from a starting point to a destination point. Furthermore, the device is configured to determine a driving route through the road network from the starting point to the destination point based on the release information and the availability information.
