Abstract: A method (and corresponding parking facility management server, parking system, and computer program) for carrying out an automatic parking process of a vehicle includes a reservation request for a parking position of a parking facility being sent to a parking facility management server via a communication network, navigation data for an autonomous navigation to the reserved parking position corresponding to the reservation request being received by the vehicle via the communication network, and the vehicle autonomously navigating in the parking facility to the reserved parking position based on the navigation data. It is preferably provided that the vehicle autonomously pulls into the parking position, pulls out of this parking position, and travels back to a drop-off position or pick-up position, from which a driver of the vehicle may pick up the vehicle.

Abstract: A method is described for guiding a vehicle in a parking lot, in which a route in the parking lot from a starting position to a target position is ascertained off-board the vehicle, and at least a section of the route is transmitted to the vehicle via a communications network, and when traveling the section, the vehicle is monitored for a deviation during the autonomous driving of the section with the aid of an off-board monitoring system. In addition, a corresponding device and computer program directed to a parking system are described as well.

Abstract: A driver assistance system for monitoring driving safety has a mobile electronic unit including a video sensor, a computer unit for image data processing, and an acoustic output unit, which detects the immediate surroundings of the vehicle from the data of the video sensor and outputs a warning or information via an output unit when the computer unit detects a dangerous situation. The mobile electronic unit detects noises within the vehicle or from the outside via an acoustic input unit, and incorporates the information in the assessment of driving safety.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method and a device for preventing rear end collisions with a vehicle. According to the invention, the distance (d) and/or speed (vrel) of the vehicle in relation to the vehicle in front are determined by means of an environmental sensor (2) oriented towards the front region of the vehicle. In the event of a stopping situation, a longitudinal dynamic value (alphaFP, alpha BP) initiated by the driver is evaluated in order to determine whether there is a risk of collision for the two vehicles in question. In the event of a risk of collision, the drive train (10) and/or the delay devices (11) of the vehicle are engaged in order to reduce the risk of collision and/or driver warning devices (12, 5) are triggered in order to inform the driver about the risk of collision.

Abstract: An improved method for exchange of data in data processing installations, especially Controller Areas Networks (CAN), permits acknowledged and segmented transmission of data strings, of arbitrarily long length, between at least two stations in the network or other data processing installation. The method includes the transmission of the messages associated with the data by means of frames; the frames contain a header field and a data field. In the event of contention between multiple stations of the data processing installation for access to the bus connection, which frame has priority is determined by evaluating the respective header fields. In the data field of the frame, there is a control information field (58, 95) containing a message code which serves to identify the message type. The message codes distinguish among activation messages (AR, AC), data messages (DT), and acknowledgement (AK) messages. This permits transmission of data strings, of limited length, with acknowledgement.
