Abstract: An exemplary trip planning method includes, among other things, recommending at least one stop for a vehicle. Under first conditions, the recommending is based on a vehicle need and a user need. Under second conditions, the recommending is based on the vehicle need and an environmental factor. An exemplary trip planning assembly includes, among other things, a controller module that recommends at least one stop for a vehicle. Under first conditions, the at least one stop is recommended based on a vehicle need and a user need. Under second conditions, the at least one stop is recommended based on the vehicle need and an environmental factor.

Abstract: A non-contact working sensor, especially an inductive or capacitive sensor, preferably for measuring the distance or position of an object, with an inductive or capacitive sensor element, wherein measuring elements of the sensor element are embedded in a multilayered ceramic and together with the ceramic form the sensor element, is characterized in that the sensor element is constructed geometrically and/or electrically symmetrical in regard to its measuring elements and in that a mounting spaced apart from a holder is realized with the least possible contact surfaces on the sensor element. Furthermore, the invention relates to a sensor element, such as is used in the sensor according to the invention.
