  • Patent number: 12253595
    Abstract: The disclosure relates to a method and a device for determining relevant variables of an object in the environment of a motor vehicle by means of at least one ultrasonic, the method comprising: acquiring a measurement series of real sensor values for the at least one ultrasonic sensor, which sensor values represent the shortest distance between the object and the motor vehicle, wherein the sensor values are acquired cyclically with a specified time interval, modeling a series of sensor values for the at least one ultrasonic sensor by modeling the object movement using a state vector and a parameter vector, and modeling the distance sensing in accordance with the state vector and the parameter vector, and determining the state vector and the parameter vector by adapting the modeled sensor values to the measured real sensor values of the at least one ultrasonic sensor by means of an optimization method.

  • Publication number: 20240227791
    Abstract: the at least partially automatic longitudinal control of a transportation vehicle wherein sensor data are generated by a surroundings sensor system wherein the sensor data represent an environment. A computing unit is used, based on the sensor data, to determine a speed vector of a road user in the environment and to predict a potential collision of the road user with the transportation vehicle. Based on the speed vector, it is identified that the road user is moving substantially transverse to a direction of movement of the transportation vehicle and a target speed for the transportation vehicle is computed to avoid the predicted collision. The speed of the transportation vehicle is reduced automatically to the target speed.
