  • Patent number: 10386855
    Abstract: A method for the decentralized coordination of driving maneuvers of at least two motorized transportation vehicles. A planned trajectory and a desired trajectory are transferred from a first motorized transportation vehicle to a second motorized transportation vehicle. In the second motorized transportation vehicle, a planned trajectory of the second motorized transportation vehicle is compared with the desired trajectory of the first motorized transportation vehicle. The planned trajectory of the second motorized transportation vehicle is adapted in response to satisfaction of adaptation criterion. The planned and desired trajectories of the first motorized transportation vehicle are combined with a strategic trajectory of the first motorized transportation vehicle. The planned trajectory and a desired trajectory of the second motorized transportation vehicle are combined with a strategic trajectory of the second motorized transportation vehicle.

  • Patent number: 10193641
    Abstract: A method and an apparatus for estimating an expected reception quality in an interval of time for car-to-X communication including a receiving device for acquiring data packets and a memory, wherein the memory stores at least one empirically determined variable for reception patterns of data packets in a first interval of time, which variable indicates or can be used to determine how high the probability is of a data packet or n data packets being successfully received in a subsequent, second interval of time, wherein the apparatus is designed so that the reception pattern is determined for a first interval of time before the interval of time and the associated probability for the interval of time is read from the memory, wherein a warning message is generated and/or a transmission parameter and/or a functionality of a driver assistance function is/are changed on the basis of the probability.
