Abstract: A runtime environment for execution of an event driven control program for a distributed control system including one or multiple computing resources, wherein the control program includes at least two function blocks. The runtime environment includes for each computing resource an event executor which is configured for execution of sets of events and respective associated data on the respective computing resource. And wherein the runtime environment includes for each function block a memory resource, which memory resource is configured to: store a set of events and associated data for each function block if the data is produced by the function block; and/or store a reference to a set of events and associated data for each function block if the data is consumed by the function block.

Abstract: An apparatus for detecting a traffic participant includes a first detection device for detecting the traffic participant in a first detection zone. The first detection device is configured to repeatedly detect the first detection zone and to detect an entering of a traffic participant in the first detection zone, and/or to detect the traffic participant in an angular section in an extended first detection zone beyond the first detection zone according to an instruction. The apparatus also includes a second detection device that detects the traffic participant in a second detection zone, and is adapted to provide data required for instruction about the traffic participant in response to the detection of the traffic participant and to forward it to the first detection device for instruction. This way, the traffic participant may be detected by the first detection device before entering the first detection zone.
