  • Patent number: 12140950
    Abstract: Technologies and techniques for the at least the partially automated driving of a motor vehicle. A first application and at least one redundant second application provide output data depending on motor vehicle operating data and/or environmental data. Vehicle driving data for the at least partially automated driving of the motor vehicle are determined depending on the output data. Vehicle operating data from another vehicle are received, and, depending on the vehicle operating data, the at least one redundant second application switches from an active state to a standby state in which a computer instance of a computer unit used by the at least one redundant second application is at least executed at a lower frequency than in the active state.

  • Publication number: 20240124006
    Abstract: A method of a transportation vehicle for context-dependent processing of a potential error of a vehicle component. The method includes determining a current context of the transportation vehicle and of at least one vehicle component of the transportation vehicle that is heterogeneous in the current context. In response to at least one heterogeneous vehicle component being determined, a heterogeneous verification of the potential error is performed taking into account the at least one heterogeneous vehicle component. In response to no heterogeneous vehicle component being determined, a context-dependent relevance of the vehicle component is determined. Based on the determined context-dependent relevance, then either the potential error of the vehicle component is handled or an emergency operating mode of the transportation vehicle is initiated. Also disclosed is a transportation vehicle having a control unit to perform the method.

  • Publication number: 20240034310
    Abstract: A control device and a method for determining a time variable which is a time variable for describing a possible collision of an ego-vehicle with at least one further object. The method includes determining a movement variable which is based on a movement of at least one of the ego-vehicle and the object; determining a current and/or possible location area for at least one of the ego-vehicle and the object; determining the time variable based on the movement variable and the location area, the location area is determined based on a surroundings model of the ego-vehicle.
