  • Publication number: 20230368594
    Abstract: A method for granting an access authorization for luggage compartments of a vehicle that has at least two luggage compartments, includes booking of a luggage compartment for a journey of the vehicle. At least one of the luggage compartments of the vehicle is assigned to the passenger via a central computing unit such that the passenger receives an access authorization. A request for granting a release of the at least one luggage compartment assigned to the passenger is input into a device. The access authorization of a person inputting the request is checked via a computing unit inside of the vehicle and/or the central computing unit. If checking by the computing unit, the computing unit obtains access authorization data from the central computing unit. If the person inputting the request is authorized, the at least one luggage compartment assigned to the passenger is released.

  • Patent number: 11220263
    Abstract: A method for open-loop or closed-loop control of a driver assistance system of a vehicle, including: a) using a first sensor device to detect from a roadway at least one lane and a roadway marking that separates the lane from an edge of the roadway; b) using a second sensor device to detect operation of at least one operating device of the vehicle that influences the driving dynamics of the vehicle by virtue of the driver; c) using steering actuators and/or brake actuators to influence the driving dynamics of the vehicle; and d) outputting, if there is a threat of the vehicle leaving the lane, as detected by the first sensor device, a first warning signal. A related driver assistance system is also described.

  • Patent number: 11059462
    Abstract: A method, device and control system for controlling vehicle movement, including: reading-in the specification data from an interface with a generating apparatus, the vehicle having a vehicle movement control system having the generating apparatus for generating specification data for the vehicle movement, at least one providing apparatus for providing vehicle property(s) and an actuator element for influencing the vehicle movement, the specification data representing a driving corridor/speed profile for a route section, and the at least one vehicle property from an interface with the at least one providing apparatus; determining vehicle guide data using the specification data and the vehicle property(s), the guide data being for controlling the vehicle movement while complying with the specification data; acquiring at least one manipulated variable for the at least one actuator element using the guide data; and outputting the at least one manipulated variable to an interface with the actuator element.

  • Patent number: 11029404
    Abstract: A method is described for identifying and classifying objects, detected by a sensor apparatus which actively emits radiation, in terms of the relevance thereof to a driving situation of a moving vehicle, wherein radiation is emitted by the sensor apparatus and the echo radiation reflected at objects is received as measurement values, including: detecting measurement values in relation to the driving situation of the vehicle, performing an analysis of the driving situation represented by the measurement values and identifying at least one possible object, classifying the at least one identified object in an object class of a plurality of object classes, in which performing the analysis of the measurement values includes: transforming the detected measurement values from a coordinate system fixed in terms of the vehicle into a coordinate system fixed in terms of space for generating measurement values fixed in terms of spatial coordinates, wherein this transformation is based on the vehicle speed and the yaw ra
