  • Patent number: 10650674
    Abstract: In a method for associating a transmitter which transmits at least one communication information in a car-to-car communication with an object in a receiving motor vehicle, wherein the object is described by environmental data from at least one environmental sensor, wherein the association occurs based on comparing environmental data from at least one environmental sensor of the motor vehicle having the transmitter with corresponding environmental data of the receiving motor vehicle.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 9500491
    Abstract: A method for position determination, in particular of a motor vehicle, includes optically capturing an object having a known geographic position and matching the geographic position of the object with stored map data. The object may be a road sign having distance information, which is optically recognized at the vehicle. The distance information is subsequently evaluated using optical character recognition.

  • Patent number: 9395200
    Abstract: A method provides an operating strategy for a target vehicle which is located together with other foreign vehicles on a track section of a road track. A communication unit of the target vehicle or of an external data server is connected to a respective communication unit of the foreign vehicles via an ad-hoc network, in particular via a car-to-X communication. A foreign vehicle communicates a position signal and/or an information to an operating parameter. A processing unit determines the positions of the foreign vehicles and can determine a digital model for a current traffic situation in the track section using information related to the operating parameter. The digital model describes the track section and the foreign vehicles located thereon and serves as a basis for an operating strategy for operating the target vehicle. A driving recommendation produces a model output for the driver or triggers automatic driving.

  • Patent number: 9165198
    Abstract: A method identifies a first vehicle during vehicle-to-vehicle communication by the first vehicle emitting vehicle data. A second vehicle receives the emitted vehicle data. The first vehicle is detected by environment data detected with an environment sensor of the second vehicle, and identification of the first vehicle with the second vehicle by the vehicle data and the environment data. The vehicle data comprises at least one information item which relates to a visual property of the first vehicle which can be detected from the outside, and the visual property of the first vehicle which can be detected from the outside is checked by the second vehicle by the environment data for identifying the first vehicle.
