Abstract: The present disclosure discloses a method for coordinating the traffic of motor vehicles in a parking environment. The method evaluates sensor data and determines current traffic situation data of a parking environment based on the evaluating. The method determines a target corridor for a destination of a motor vehicle based on current traffic situation data, a map data set, and target corridors determined for other motor vehicles. The method transmits the target corridor to the motor vehicle, and a recommendation to wait to another motor vehicle during a planned departure of the other motor vehicle from the parking environment. The method outputs a confirmation of a request for an automatic departure of the other motor vehicle to a mobile device when a time to reach an exit according to an optimal target corridor exceeds a threshold value.

Abstract: A method for operating an automatically guided, driverless motor vehicle (1), in particular a passenger car, wherein sensor data detected by environmental sensors, including at least one camera (6) of the motor vehicle (1) is evaluated with respect to objects (17) to be taken into account in trajectory planning, which objects (17) can be classified as an obstacle or not an obstacle by means of at least one classifier evaluating the associated sensor data, wherein in case of an object (17) that cannot be classified or cannot be classified with sufficient certainty as an obstacle or not an obstacle and/or in case of at least one object (17) preventing the further drive of the motor vehicle (1) to a current destination, at least one camera image (18) of the respective object (17) is taken with at least one of the at least one camera (6), transmitted to a portable mobile communication device (11) carried along by a user (12) of the motor vehicle (1), and displayed there; an input, classifying the object (17) as a

Abstract: A method for navigating a user between a first position within a building and a second position, or vice versa, includes creating, by a motor vehicle, map information describing at least one partial area of the building based on vehicle environment information created at the motor vehicle that describes objects in the environment around the motor vehicle. The method further includes providing, by the motor vehicle, parking information including a park position of the motor vehicle within the building and transferring the map information and the parking information to a mobile communication device. The mobile communication device is configured to create navigation information containing at least one navigation route between the first position and the second position, based on the transferred map information and the transferred parking information. The mobile communication device is configured to navigate the user between the first position and the second position using the navigation information.

Abstract: Apparatus for controlling a device of a motor vehicle includes a communication unit configured to shift the device of the motor vehicle from an idle mode to an active mode by sending a first wireless signal. The apparatus is configured to specify a frequency and/or a channel for transmitting and/or receiving the first wireless signal in the active mode and to control the device so that the device is only shifted from the idle mode to the active mode when the first wireless signal is received at the specified frequency and/or the specified channel.

Abstract: The present disclosure discloses a method for determining the absolute position of a mobile unit, which has at least one optical surroundings sensor that captures a detection area of the environs of the mobile unit, in a predefined navigation environment, wherein optical, distinguishable markers which can be detected by the surroundings sensor are used in the navigation environment, wherein, for position determination, at least one marker is detected and identified, by means of an image processing algorithm, in sensor data recorded by at least one of the at least one surroundings sensors, and a relative position between the mobile unit and the marker is determined taking account of the position of the marker in the sensor data, and an absolute position of the mobile unit is determined as a function of the relative position and the absolute position of the marker.
