  • Traffic-rule-compliant decision-making in dynamic traffic scenarios
    Patent number: 11926341
    Abstract: A method for determining a driving maneuver of a vehicle with a control unit includes receiving a measurement data relating to a traffic situation from a sensor, determining a current detection area of the sensor by evaluating the measurement data, and creating a sensor model based on the measurement data. An estimated detection area of the sensor from the measurement data is modelled through forward simulation based on a vehicle position of the vehicle. A change in the estimated detection area of the sensor due to a driving maneuver is determined along with the driving maneuver that causes an increase in the estimated detection area due to the sensor model.

  • HOUSING WITH A HOUSING PART COMPRISING AN INTEGRATED PROTECTIVE SECTION
    Publication number: 20230032158
    Abstract: In order to improve a housing, in particular for an electrotechnical apparatus, comprising at least two housing parts which each have a connecting face, said connecting faces, in a closed state of the housing, facing one another along a connecting section, it is proposed that at least one of the at least two housing parts, along the connecting section, has at least one integrated protective section, in particular for EMC shielding and/or for mechanical protection.
