Abstract: A railway vehicle has two side walls facing each other to define a passenger compartment and a front end portion, which has two LIDAR devices arranged at the upper side corners of the front end portion; each of the LIDAR devices has a field of view of 360° about its axis, and such axis is oriented with a forward inclination and with a lateral outward inclination.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for controlling a vehicle is proposed. Detection of a traffic light along the trajectory of a cruising vehicle and a determination of current and future traffic light statuses is performed. It is determined whether the vehicle can arrive at the traffic light during a passing status in accordance with an adaptation of the kinematic vehicle state. Signals are provided via a human 10 machine interface corresponding to various kinematic vehicle state adaptation scenarios in order to enable an arrival at the traffic light during a passing status. In response to the respective human machine interface signals, control of the vehicle can be performed accordingly.

Abstract: The present invention relates to methods and apparatuses for performing driving assistance for a controlled vehicle, involving determining a longitudinal acceleration target value on the basis of a lateral acceleration of the controlled vehicle and one or more setting parameters, and controlling a longitudinal acceleration of the controlled vehicle on the basis of the calculated longitudinal acceleration target value. According to the invention, a lateral acceleration acting, during cornering, on a proceeding vehicle, which moves in the longitudinal direction on the road ahead of the controlled vehicle, is estimated, and the one or more setting parameters for the calculation of the longitudinal acceleration target value are set based on the estimated lateral acceleration acting on the proceeding vehicle during cornering.
