Abstract: A method for triggering at least two safety functions from a predefined plurality of safety functions in a motor vehicle, including a) recognizing a trigger signal for one first safety function, and b) generating a trigger signal for at least one second safety function, if according to step a) the trigger signal for the first safety function has been recognized, the first safety function being of a first function type and at least one of the second safety functions being of a second function type differing from the first function type.

Abstract: A method operates a positioning device which has at least one waveguide laid along a route for positioning a track-bound vehicle on the route. Accordingly, the method proceeds in such a way that measurement data related to the track-bound vehicle are captured by a route-side sensor device. An electromagnetic pulse is fed into the waveguide and a backscatter pattern produced by backscattering of the electromagnetic pulse is detected and is subjected to an evaluation. A vehicle-specific characteristic value determined in the evaluation is verified on the basis of the captured measurement data and, if the verification of the at least one vehicle-specific characteristic value is successful, a positioning signal based on the evaluation of the at least one backscatter pattern and indicating the position of the track-bound vehicle is provided by the positioning device.

Abstract: A method for detecting a committed rule infringement and/or an atypical vehicle state of a vehicle. The method includes: receiving environmental data acquired with the aid of an environmental sensor system; ascertaining a vehicle behavior and/or a vehicle state of a vehicle based on the environmental data; detecting a committed rule infringement and/or an atypical vehicle state of the vehicle based on the ascertained vehicle behavior and/or vehicle state.

Abstract: A method for a vehicle, by which it is determined whether a further vehicle located in the surroundings of the vehicle is operated in an at least semi-automated manner. The method includes detecting at least one parameter of the further vehicle and determining, on the basis of the at least one parameter, whether the further vehicle is operated in an at least semi-automated manner.

Abstract: A safety device for a vehicle includes a sensor system and an evaluation and control unit that is coupled to the sensor system via an interface and that evaluates information from the sensor system in order to detect objects in the area ahead of the vehicle, calculates, on the basis of the information from the sensor system, a likely impact point of a detected object and/or a likely amount of overlap of the detected object and the vehicle, brings the vehicle into a defined slide-off position by way of a targeted intervention into the vehicle dynamics when the calculated likely impact point and/or the calculated amount of overlap satisfies at least one predefined condition.

Abstract: A hand-held power tool, in particular an electric hand tool, includes an identification module and a housing. The identification module includes a transponder having at least one data store configured to store identification information and a radio module configured to transmit the identification data. The identification module is integrated into the housing.

Abstract: A method for operating a mobile device with a communication module and an accumulator, in particular a hand-held power tool, includes powering the communication module via electricity from the accumulator. The communication module enables wireless communication, and is powered only temporarily at least for transmitting data.

Abstract: An identification module for mobile objects, in particular hand-held power tools, includes a housing, a transponder, and a stored energy source. The housing has a mechanism configured to arrange and/or fasten the identification module to a mobile device. The transponder has a data memory and a radio module. The memory is configured to store identification data, and the radio module is configured to send the identification data. The stored energy source is configured to power the transponder. The housing has a chamber, an opening into the chamber, and a lid configured to close the opening. The opening is configured so as to enable the stored energy source to be removably arranged in the chamber via the opening.

Abstract: A method for the assisted emergency braking of a vehicle, in which the lateral and/or the longitudinal guidance of the vehicle are/is influenced in such a way that the vehicle is guided in the direction of a safety zone, and when the safety zone has been reached, a parking position, in particular within the safety zone, is ascertained for the vehicle, the vehicle being guided in such a way that the vehicle comes to a standstill in the parking position.

Abstract: A method for a vehicle, by which it is determined whether a further vehicle located in the surroundings of the vehicle is operated in an at least semi-automated manner. The method includes detecting at least one parameter of the further vehicle and determining, on the basis of the at least one parameter, whether the further vehicle is operated in an at least semi-automated manner.

Abstract: A method for checking the plausibility of a control decision for a safety device of a vehicle includes detecting a regulatorily standardized feature of a collision object using a surroundings sensor system, such as a video camera, and enabling the control decision as a function of the detected feature, such as a vehicle license plate, trademark, or emblem.

Abstract: A communication method is provided for transmitting useful data between a first traffic participant, at least one second traffic participant, and a central communication device. It is provided that the first traffic participant provides a data packet and transmits it to the central communication device, the data packet being assigned to a changing key that is transmitted together with the data packet, and that the first traffic participant transmits an identifier together with the key to the second traffic participant, and that the second traffic participant requests from the central communication device, using the key, the data packet assigned thereto, and assigns it to the first traffic participant. Also provided is a communication system.
