Patents by Inventor Charlotte Grinenval

Charlotte Grinenval has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 10919539
    Abstract: In a method for operating a vehicle control system having at least two actuators acting upon a vehicle state variable, a first actuator is initially activated, and at a time interval prior to arrival at a boundary condition regarding the first actuator, a switchover is made to a second actuator.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: April 7, 2017
    Date of Patent: February 16, 2021
    Assignee: Robert Bosch GmbH
    Inventors: Konrad Hofmann, Charlotte Grinenval, Stefan Wickert
  • Patent number: 10474150
    Abstract: In a method for automatic movement controlling of a vehicle, at least one trajectory is determined on the basis of environmental and driving state data, and driving state quantities are subsequently calculated for an upcoming time period, using a mathematical vehicle model, taking the trajectory as a basis.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: March 20, 2018
    Date of Patent: November 12, 2019
    Assignee: Robert Bosch GmbH
    Inventors: Thomas Brettschneider, Charlotte Grinenval, Nils Hagenlocher
  • Patent number: 10457292
    Abstract: A method for operating an automated motor vehicle includes: ascertaining a target trajectory for the motor vehicle, acquiring environmental data of the motor vehicle, ascertaining a tolerance region of the target trajectory based on the acquired environmental data, and guiding the motor vehicle in the tolerance region of the target trajectory in such a way that guidance of the motor vehicle with the smallest possible changes in acceleration and/or with energetically optimized propulsion is definedly more highly prioritized than definedly accurate guidance of the motor vehicle along the target trajectory.

  • Patent number: 10240933
    Abstract: A method for guiding a vehicle, at least one parameter of the surroundings of the vehicle being detected by at least one sensor; a travel corridor being ascertained based on the parameter; a trajectory being ascertained as a function of at least one other parameter within the travel corridor; and the guidance of the vehicle being adapted as a function of the ascertained trajectory.

  • Patent number: 9908410
    Abstract: In a method for warning the driver of a motor vehicle in the event of lack of attention, in order to improve the acceptance of such systems among drivers, it is provided to monitor the driver with regard to lack of attention and also to ascertain the instantaneous driving situation of the vehicle, and, if lack of attention of the driver has been determined, to output a warning signal only in certain driving situations, but not in others.

  • Patent number: 9862383
    Abstract: A method for operating a vehicle, whereby a first setpoint trajectory is ascertained at a first point in time, based on which a setpoint trajectory of the vehicle is controlled, wherein, at a second point in time which is subsequent to the first point in time, it is checked whether or not the actual trajectory of the vehicle can continue to be controlled based on the first setpoint trajectory, and if yes, the actual trajectory of the vehicle continues to be controlled based on the first setpoint trajectory, while if no, a second setpoint trajectory is ascertained based on which the actual trajectory of the vehicle is controlled. A driver assistance system and a computer program product are also provided.
