Patents by Inventor Florian KOHLHUBER

Florian KOHLHUBER has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 11685410
    Abstract: A driver assistance system for a motor vehicle for automated driving with automated longitudinal guidance, wherein when automated longitudinal guidance is active in an automatic mode, automated longitudinal guidance is brought about taking into account a predefinable setpoint speed. The system includes a first detection unit, configured to detect a defined stationary state situation which is set on the basis of a preceding automated braking process of the motor vehicle to the stationary state, a second detection unit, configured to detect accelerator pedal activation, and an evaluation and control unit, configured to actuate a manual mode when actuator pedal activation is detected during a defined stationary state situation.

  • Patent number: 11584373
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for an automated starting of a means of transport (80) at a light-signal system (70), comprising: recording an image of the light-signal system (70) by means of a first optical sensor (30) of the means of transport (80), determining a signaling state of the light-signal system (70) by means of the recorded image, executing an automated starting process of the means of transport (80) in response to a signaling state representing and/or announcing a travel clearance, determining a user action of a driver of the means of transport (80) for plausibility checking of the starting process, and depending on a result of the plausibility check, automatically continuing or terminating of the starting process.

  • Patent number: 11485382
    Abstract: A control unit for a vehicle is configured to detect a signalling installation ahead, wherein the signalling installation has at least one signal transmitter. The control unit is configured to ascertain digital map information indicating and/or allowing an association between the at least one signal transmitter and at least one possible direction of travel of the vehicle at the signalling installation. The control unit is further configured to operate a driving function of the vehicle on the basis of the digital map information.
