  • Patent number: 11820404
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for creating a probabilistic free space map with static (2a, 2b, 3) and dynamic objects (V1-V7), having the following steps: retrieving (S1) static objects (2a, 2b, 3) as well as a perception area polygon (WP) from an existing environment model; collecting (S2) predicted trajectories (T1, T2) of dynamic objects (V1-V7); merging (S3) the static objects (2a, 2b, 3) of the perception area polygon (WP) and the predicted trajectories (T1, T2) in a first free space map; fixing (S4) a maximum prediction time; fixing (S5) prediction time steps; fixing (S6) a current prediction time and setting this current prediction time to the value 0 in order to fix the start of a fixed prediction time period; fixing (S7) confidence regions (K) around the static (2a, 2b, 3) and dynamic objects (V1-V7); fixing (S8) at least one uncertain region (U) around at least one static (2a, 2b, 3) or dynamic object (V1-V7); producing (S9) a first probabilistic free space map for the current prediction time

  • Patent number: 11273835
    Abstract: A system for a vehicle, having a driver monitoring device with a sensor device and with a first camera, an environment detection device with sensors for surroundings acquisition, a control unit and a classifier. Using the environment detection device and the classifier, traffic scenarios A and B may be classified. Using the driver monitoring device, it is possible to determine whether a direction of view of the driver is directed towards a traffic situation and whether the driver has their hands on a steering wheel of the vehicle. Using the control unit, it is possible, on the basis of information from the driver monitoring device and the environment detection device, to determine whether the driver is capable of resolving the traffic scenario classified as A or B within a response time.

  • Publication number: 20210354755
    Abstract: A control unit is provided for an ego vehicle equipped with a transverse guidance actuator which is designed to transversely guide the ego vehicle in an at least partly automated manner during a follow-on drive. The control unit is designed to detect a transverse guidance maneuver of the ego vehicle required for the follow-on drive. The control unit is additionally designed to ascertain driver information with respect to the driver of the ego vehicle, the driver information including at least one indication of how engaged the driver is with monitoring and/or carrying out the transverse guidance of the ego vehicle. The control unit is further designed to set a dynamic of an intervention, which is automatically carried out by the transverse guidance actuator of the ego vehicle, for the transverse guidance maneuver on the basis of the ascertained driver information.

  • Patent number: 9207088
    Abstract: A method for operating a motor vehicle is disclosed which includes determining of a current position of the motor vehicle and accessing a data of map data stored in at least one vehicle-external storage device. The accessed data set contains map data of surroundings of the determined current position of the motor vehicle. The method further include, classifying objects contained in the map data according to stationary objects and moveable objects, and transmitting data contained in the map data of the accessed data set regarding objects classified stationary to at least one interface of the motor vehicle.

  • Patent number: 8923758
    Abstract: A transmitting device is provided for a communication system, which has at least one transmitting antenna, the at least one transmitting antenna being implemented to generate an emission field by emitting electromagnetic waves in an emission region. In addition, the transmitting device has a first ascertainment device, which is implemented to ascertain whether at least one receiving device for receiving the emitted electromagnetic waves, which forms a non-trustworthy receiver, is situated inside the emission region. In addition, the transmitting device has a first adaptation device, which is implemented to adapt an emission field of the at least one transmitting antenna, if at least one receiving device, which forms a non-trustworthy receiver, is ascertained inside the emission region, in such a manner that a field strength of the electromagnetic waves is reduced at the location of the at least one receiving device.

  • Patent number: 8897997
    Abstract: A method for the classification of data includes receiving a first message that is a vehicle-to-vehicle or a vehicle-to-infrastructure message. The first message includes first mobility data of a vehicle. An expected route of the vehicle is determined based on the first mobility data. A second message that is a vehicle-to-vehicle or a vehicle-to-infrastructure message is received. The second message includes second mobility data of the vehicle. An actual route of the vehicle is determined based on the second mobility data. Whether the expected route deviates from the actual route by at least a predetermined threshold value is determined. If the expected route deviates from the actual route by at least the predetermined threshold value, a type of momentary driving maneuver of the vehicle is determined and the first mobility data and the second mobility data are classified on the basis of the type of momentary driving maneuver.

  • Publication number: 20120191271
    Abstract: A method is provided for the lane monitoring of a motor vehicle travelling on a road. Position data of the motor vehicle are provided that are determined in at least one infrastructure device arranged adjacent to the road with a storage device with card reader. The card data contains information regarding a course of at least one lane of the road. With a determined distance covered of the motor vehicle and with the card data it is determined if the motor vehicle is at least partially leaving a lane of the road travelled on by the motor vehicle. If it is determined that the motor vehicle is at least partially leaving the lane, a sending of a message from the at least one infrastructure device to the motor vehicle takes place.
