  • Publication number: 20230211803
    Abstract: A driving assistance system for automated driving of a vehicle includes at least one processor unit, which is designed to perform the following when the driving assistance system is carrying out a maneuver of turning onto a street: to determine, on the basis of environment data of an environment sensor system of the vehicle, whether another, on-coming road user is blocking a lane of the street which corresponds to the vehicle; and when it is determined that the other road user is blocking the lane of the street which corresponds to the vehicle to carry out a situation evaluation in order to determine whether the vehicle should back up in order to allow the other road user to exit the street or whether the other road user should be requested to clear the lane by backing up.

  • Patent number: 10225171
    Abstract: A method is provided for assigning a time stamp to a specific data packet which, as with a group of received data packets, is received by a cyclically operating sensor. The specific data packet is especially part of the group of received data packets. The disclosed method includes: determining the time of arrival of each data packet of the group of received data packets; assigning a time stamp to each data packet of the group of data packets; determining the time difference between the determined time of arrival and the assigned time stamp for each data packet of the group of data packets; determining the smallest time difference from among the determined time differences; and assigning a time stamp to the specific data packet on the basis of the time of arrival determined for the data packet for which the smallest time difference has been determined.

  • Patent number: 10091751
    Abstract: A mobile unit as well as a method for time-stamping a first message of the first mobile unit to a second mobile unit are provided. The method includes the steps of: determining a roundtrip time between the first mobile unit and a base station, receiving the first message sent by the first mobile unit in the base station, adding a timestamp to the first message in the base station while taking into account the roundtrip time, and sending the time-stamped first message to the second mobile unit.

  • Publication number: 20140336866
    Abstract: In a method for determining input data of a driver assistance unit, information data are provided, which were determined as a function of a measurement signal of a first sensor using a predefined first calculation rule. Raw data are provided, which are representative of a measurement signal of the first and/or a second sensor. The plausibility data are determined as a function of the raw data using a predefined second calculation rule. Fusion data, which represent information data that have been checked for plausibility, are determined as a function of the information data and the plausibility data. The fusion data are provided as the input data to the driver assistance unit.
