  • Patent number: 11835381
    Abstract: An integrated radiation sensor is disclosed. The integrated radiation sensor comprises a first optical filter associated with a first radiation-sensing element and a second optical filter associated with a second radiation-sensing element. The first optical filter is configured to pass radiation to the first radiation-sensing element with wavelengths within a UV-C range. The second optical filter is configured to pass radiation to the second radiation-sensing element with wavelengths longer than wavelengths within the UV-C range. Also disclosed is a method of manufacturing the integrated radiation sensor and methods of use of the integrated radiation sensor.

  • Patent number: 11714418
    Abstract: A method for the automated control of a motor vehicle (10) is presented. The method includes the following steps: Generating and/or receiving a reference trajectory (T*) for the motor vehicle (10); Generating at least two possible trajectories ({circumflex over (x)}i) for the motor vehicle (10); Comparing the at least two possible trajectories ({circumflex over (x)}i) with the reference trajectory (T*); and Selecting one of the at least two possible trajectories ({circumflex over (x)}i) based on the comparison of the at least two possible trajectories ({circumflex over (x)}i) with the reference trajectory (T*). A control device (24) for a system for the control of a motor vehicle (10) is also proposed.

  • Publication number: 20220080961
    Abstract: A control system (10) is suitable for use in a subject motor vehicle (12) and is set up and designed to monitor a current driving situation of the subject motor vehicle and a further motor vehicle and to determine an optimum trajectory for a subsequent driving maneuver of the subject motor vehicle (12) which is to be followed by the subject motor vehicle (12), based on environment data provided to the controller of the subject motor vehicle (12). The control system is set up and designed to obtain information relating to a current driving situation of the subject motor vehicle (12) and/or at least one other motor vehicle based on the environment data provided. Furthermore, the control system (10) is set up and designed to determine a plurality of lateral positions and a plurality of longitudinal positions and/or speeds on the basis of the information relating to the current driving situation of the subject motor vehicle and/or of the other motor vehicle.

  • Patent number: 10449960
    Abstract: A control system that is suitable for use in a host motor vehicle (10) is configured and intended for detecting (S100) another motor vehicle (20), using the road, located in front of the host motor vehicle (10) by means of the at least one surroundings sensor, determining (S106) a lateral movement of the other motor vehicle (20) relative to a lane (12, 16) in which the other motor vehicle (20) or the host motor vehicle (10) is present, and computing (S108) a movement-based likelihood of a lane change by the other motor vehicle (20), based on the determined lateral movement of the other motor vehicle (20).

  • Publication number: 20180046191
    Abstract: A control system for use in a host motor vehicle (10) is configured and intended for ascertaining an instantaneous driving situation of the host motor vehicle (10) and determining a trajectory (42) for the host motor vehicle (10) that the host motor vehicle (10) is to follow for carrying out a driving maneuver, in accordance with the ascertained instantaneous driving situation of the host motor vehicle (10), a desired driving situation of the host motor vehicle (10), the driving dynamics of the host motor vehicle (10), and the surroundings data (64). The control system is further configured and intended for generating at least one associated signal (61) that assists a driver of the host motor vehicle in controlling the host motor vehicle (10) in order to follow the trajectory (42), or generating at least one associated control command (61) that causes the host motor vehicle (10) to autonomously follow the trajectory (42), essentially simultaneously with determining the trajectory (42).
