Abstract: A computer-implemented method for the use of stored specification parts of at least one test and/or simulation, comprising the steps: providing the at least one test to be specified and/or the one simulation for testing driving functions of a vehicle and the at least one test and/or the at least one simulation are determined by at least one parameter value and/or setting value; and performing a specification of the at least one test and/or the at least one simulation, wherein the specification comprises at least one specification part, wherein the parameter values and/or the setting values are selected and concrete parameter values and/or setting values are assigned by the specification for the test and/or the simulation, wherein the parameter values and/or setting values are selected manually or automatically, and wherein already stored specification parts are selected manually and/or automatically and integrated into the specification.

Abstract: A method for minimizing a computational effort for executing a plurality of virtual tests includes: providing, by a testing unit, both a parameter set of a first virtual test and a parameter set of a second virtual test on driving situation parameters and configuration data of an algorithm that implements the first virtual test and the second virtual test; determining, by the testing unit, an identical component and/or a difference component of the second virtual test in relation to the first virtual test on driving situation parameters and/or a point in time at which at least one parameter of the second virtual test varies compared with the first virtual test; and executing, by the testing unit, the first virtual test and the second virtual test while taking into account the identical component and/or the difference component so as to minimize the computational effort for test execution.

Abstract: A method for semi-automated development data management for control devices includes saving a development data model in a central data store comprising a plurality of mutually related configuration data units, wherein the configuration data units each store control commands and/or configuration parameters. The method further includes providing a ruleset and identifying an initial configuration data unit, wherein it is possible, using the ruleset, to identify further configuration data units automatically on a basis of a relationship thereof with the initial configuration data unit. In addition, the method includes applying the provided ruleset to the development data model in order to identify a subset of configuration data units within the development data model and saving the identified subset.

Abstract: A computer project management system and method for the creation of an electronic control unit software is provided. The system has a software architecture tool configured to design a graphical model of an electronic control unit for a motor vehicle. A behavior model tool converts the graphical model into a computer readable production code. A software container has a file generated based on the electronic control unit. A container manager compares the software container with a prior software container during the importation or exportation of the software container to or from the software architecture tool or the behavior model tool, and a comparison list is generated indicating whether interface modifications for the electronic control unit were made. The comparison list is then displayed to a user on a display screen.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method for managing at least one data element in control unit development, the method allows uniform management of data elements over the entire development process by providing a management unit having a user interface, associating the data element with the management unit, and associating an access configuration with the management unit. The access configuration defines the accessibility of the data element by a user via the user interface.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method for data management of product variants in control unit development is provided. Consistent data management is ensured by initially specification of product features in a variant model, specification of components in at least one domain, and definition of feature/component dependencies by associating components with at least one product feature, and subsequently specification of at least one product variant of interest by selecting product features, specification of at least one domain of interest, automated identification of the components pertaining to the product variant of interest through automated evaluation of the feature/component dependencies, and automated output of the identified components.

Abstract: The invention relates to methods for determining a motion vector in a predetermined area of a sequence of digital images by comparing a current image to a preceding image. The current image and the preceding image are prepared by the same filter for image adaptation. Distance vectors between a pixel of a current image and balanced pixels of the preceding image in a predetermined environment are determined, said distance vectors being averaged in order to form a displacement vector for the pixel. The displacement vectors are averaged and the displacement vector is produced.
