  • Patent number: 11976927
    Abstract: A transportation vehicle navigation method with a navigation system of a transportation vehicle for determining at least one route and navigation based on the determined route according to a position of the transportation vehicle. The method includes detecting at least one environmental characteristic of the transportation vehicle, specific for at least one emission of the transportation vehicle, by at least one sensor of the transportation vehicle to determine a detection result; performing an evaluation of the detection result to determine an evaluation result; and adapting the determined route during the navigation based on the evaluation result.

  • Publication number: 20240067204
    Abstract: A method for setting up a virtual ad hoc network for transmitting at least one piece of information to a first transportation vehicle as a first network subscriber. The method includes the information being provided based on first data from at least one second network subscriber, and at least one second network subscriber being a second transportation vehicle or an infrastructure component; wherein a motor-vehicle-external, central data processing device receives second data from multiple potential second network subscribers and takes the second data and at least one space-time parameter as a basis for determining the second network subscribers and setting up the virtual ad hoc network with the first transportation vehicle, as the first network subscriber, and the determined second network subscribers, the space-time parameter defining a specific area of relevance that has a predetermined physical and temporal correlation with the current position of the first transportation vehicle.

  • Publication number: 20230373498
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a method, to a computer program comprising instructions, and to a device for environment sensing in a vehicle. For the environment sensing, environment data are recorded by means of at least one vehicle sensor. A prediction is calculated by means of a trained machine learning model based on the recorded environment data, wherein the prediction includes a measure of uncertainty for the prediction. Equally, a deviation value is determined for the recorded environment data that provides a measure of how significantly the recorded environment data deviate from training data for the machine learning model. At least one conformity score is determined based on the measure of uncertainty and the deviation value and then a prediction set is determined based on the at least one determined conformity score. Then, a control signal is generated depending on the determined prediction set.

  • Publication number: 20190301882
    Abstract: A method, a device and a computer-readable storage medium comprising instructions for providing content for display to an occupant of a motor vehicle. In a first step, information on the occupant is received. In addition, information on a route of travel of the motor vehicle is received. On the basis of the information received, content to be displayed to the occupant is then determined. Optionally, information on a viewing direction of the occupant of the motor vehicle can also be received. This information on the viewing direction can be used to designate a display device for displaying the content to be displayed. Finally, the content to be displayed is transmitted to at least one display device on the route of travel of the motor vehicle.

  • Patent number: 9950794
    Abstract: A passenger cabin for a means of transport is provided, which comprises an upper passenger deck and a lower passenger deck. The floor of the upper passenger deck comprises a lower and an upper region arranged therebeside, which are interconnected via a step or a ramp. There is an aisle in the lower region. The floor of the lower passenger deck likewise comprises a lower and an upper region arranged therebeside, between which there is a lowered aisle which is arranged so as to be laterally offset from the aisle of the upper passenger deck. The available surfaces of the upper and the lower passenger deck are mirror-symmetrically arranged. In this way, the space available can be used very effectively in order to accommodate more passengers.

  • Patent number: 9927255
    Abstract: In a method and a device for controlling the display on a display area of a display device in a transportation device, data are generated for the display of a background region and data for the display in a subregion of the display area. The display in the subregion covers the display of the background region, and the display content in the subregion displays at least a portion of the display content of the background region covered by the subregion in a different manner than in the background region.
