  • Patent number: 10967868
    Abstract: The invention relates to a driving assistance method for a vehicle, wherein the movement of the vehicle in the direction of travel can be influenced in accordance with a traffic-controlling signal system positioned on the road in front of the vehicle and having cyclically recurring signal states, and wherein, inside the vehicle, first data relating to the position of a stop line associated with the signal system, and second data relating to the start times and end times of individual signal states of the signal system are determined via a first data processing system (electronic horizon) and provided in the form of data packets (messages) (A, B) for electronic control devices by means of a data connection inside the vehicle, and wherein individual data packets contain at least the following data: an earliest possible and/or latest possible time for the exchange of a signal phase, as well as a most probable time of the exchange of a signal phase.

  • Patent number: 9514642
    Abstract: A method for queue recognition by wireless vehicle to vehicle communication includes: checking a relevance for surrounding vehicles from which an ego vehicle receives messages by a comparison with relevance criteria and establishing a relevance if the relevance criteria are satisfied; selecting the speed and position values that are associated with relevant surrounding vehicles and have the speed values indicating a same direction of travel as the ego vehicle; defining a first virtual vehicle to which mean values of selected speed and position values are allocated as values for the at least one first virtual vehicle; recording a time profile of the speed and position values of the at least one first virtual vehicle; recording, as a change value, the time profile of changes in the speed and position values of the first virtual vehicle; and comparing the change value with a queue criterion.
