  • Patent number: 8682285
    Abstract: An emergency call unit for a vehicle includes not only a detection unit, a position-finding unit and a control unit, but also a transmission unit for the repeated transmission of a locating signal to a rescue worker. In this context, the locating signal may correspond to the position of the vehicle, and the transmission of the locating signal is initiated by a trigger event. By way of example, the trigger event is a request from a rescue worker or is the detection of an accident.

  • Patent number: 8451812
    Abstract: C2X communication is made possible efficiently via WLAN by apparatuses and a method for filtering data frames received by a vehicle from a receiver via a WLAN connection, wherein a frame type indicated in a received data frame is used to decide that device to which data in the data frame are transmitted. The C2X communication can be used for recognizing pedestrians. It is also possible to use a plurality of transmission paths and/or UDP.

  • Publication number: 20100007728
    Abstract: A system for multimodal detection of objects in a field of vision located in front of or behind a vehicle, wherein a surroundings-sensing process is carried out by a radar sensor, the radar sensor output signal is fed to a radar signal analysis method, and a visual surroundings-sensing process is carried out by a video sensor, the video output signal being fed to a video analysis method. Object determination takes place such that objects detected by the radar signal analysis method are fed for verification to an object confirmation and situation analysis module by an object detected by the video analysis method.
