Abstract: A device is described for protecting a sensor window. The device includes a two-piece nozzle system and is configured for generating a first and a second fluid flow, a first piece of the two-piece nozzle system being fixedly situated with respect to the sensor window, and a second piece of the two-piece nozzle system being configured for assuming different positions with respect to the first piece of the two-piece nozzle system, and the two-piece nozzle system being aligned with respect to the sensor window to direct a predominant portion of the first fluid flow in parallel to the sensor window and to direct a predominant portion of the second fluid flow in the direction onto the sensor window.

Abstract: A control device, a vehicle, a vehicle combination, and a method, the control device being designed to provide a first control signal for the approach of the vehicle to a further vehicle in a first portion of a travel route of the vehicle, the control device being designed to provide a second control signal for the coupling of the vehicle to the further vehicle in the first portion of the travel route, in order to provide a passage between the vehicle and the further vehicle, via which a person may change over between the vehicle and the further vehicle.

Abstract: An emergency halt method for a vehicle driving at least partially in automated fashion. The method includes receiving an emergency halt signal; providing a blocking signal, a first control unit being blocked, and the control over controlling driving maneuvers of the vehicle being withdrawn from the first control unit; and providing a not-drive signal for starting an emergency halt maneuver of the vehicle.
