Abstract: The invention relates to a method for dynamic automation, in which collaborative elements, such as essentially humans and mobile robots, but also machines, co-operate, in order to carry out tasks as efficiently as possible. Each of said collaborative elements carries out exactly the part of a working process which exploits the concept of collaboration the most in terms of efficiency, flexibility, quality and performance. In each working step, the collaborative elements (KE(I), KE(II)) are guided by a control system (2) into an execution zone (3) where they carry out the working step by means of communication media (4) static resources (5) and possibly machines (KE(III)). The next working process, the next working step, and the distribution of the resources in the area (1) are dynamically determined by the control system, each allocation being carried out at the last possible moment, additionally taking into account the current state of the collaborative system.

Abstract: A method for tracking objects, especially for monitoring traffic, wherein a sensor measuring in an essentially horizontal and radial manner detects metrical data on moving objects in the form of raw data and transmits said data to a computer unit. The raw data is processed in the computer in such a way that the objects are tracked and the geometric properties thereof are determined. The static background is autonomously recognized and adapted or updated if changes occur. Objects in a present scene are tracked and current parameters are determined and correlated with the parameters of the objects of previous scenes. The method is particularly suitable for the detection and recognition of non-static traffic infractions which can only be recognized by analyzing the tracking of an object. The invention can be used in conjunction with several sensors in existing traffic control systems. Also disclosed is a device for carrying out the above-mentioned method.
