Abstract: A control device may assist in parking maneuvers of a vehicle. The control device may include an interface to a sensor unit for detecting a boundary of a parking space in the surroundings of the vehicle. An arithmetic unit may determine a trajectory into a parking position in the parking space. In some embodiments the arithmetic unit is configured to calculate a trajectory into the parking position, taking into account a potential extension of parts of the body of the vehicle beyond the boundary of the parking space. Devices and methods are provided.

Abstract: A method for determining a power reserve of an electric drive, particularly for use in a drive train of a motor vehicle, having the steps: determining a power limit of the electric drive which forms the limit of the convertible power of the electric drive; recording a requested, provided or applied torque of the electric drive; determining a power reserve which forms a power that is implementable above the requested, provided or applied torque within the determined power limit of the electric drive; and displaying the power reserve using a display.

Abstract: A control device for a display device of a parking device has: an interface to a first detection device for detecting a parking space when laterally passing the parking space; an interface to a second detection device for detecting a front and/or rear boundary of a parking space when driving into the parking space; an interface to the display device for representing the dimensions of the parking space on the display device, a display of a front and/or a rear boundary of the parking space that was detected only by the first detection device differing from a representation of a front and/or a rear boundary of the parking space that was detected by the second detection device.

Abstract: A lane changing assistant for motor vehicles, having a speed control system and a surroundings sensor system for recording the traffic environment including the traffic in an adjacent lane, having a decision device for deciding whether a lane changing request of the driver is to be accepted, and having a command device for issuing an acceleration command to the speed control system in the case of a lane changing request, wherein a recognition device is developed to recognize a window for swinging into the adjacent lane without danger, in the light of the data of the surroundings sensor system; and the command device is developed to compute an acceleration strategy adjusted to the window, including a point in time for the beginning of the acceleration.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are a method for controlling electronic parcel compartment systems and an interface for carrying out the method. According to the disclosed method, data for controlling the electronic parcel compartment systems are stored on a server and are converted into control commands for controlling the compartment systems. Furthermore, according to the disclosed method, the control commands are transmitted to the parcel compartment systems via an interface.

Abstract: A method for distance alert for a vehicle, the distance of the vehicle to obstacles in the vehicle's surroundings being detected. The output of an alert depends on whether or not an obstacle is located in the vehicle's travel path. If there is no obstacle located in the travel path, then an alert is only output at a substantially smaller distance than would be the case when an obstacle is located in the travel path. The method is used for avoiding unnecessary alerts about obstacles.

Abstract: A device for determining the ability of a vehicle to pass obstacles is used to estimate whether a vehicle is able to pass between obstacles on the basis of the vehicle height and/or vehicle width.
