Abstract: A system is disclosed for controlling an object detection system of a land based vehicle, having at least one detection device with a limited geometrical operating area. The system comprises a computing device using information regarding the current or upcoming road situation from an on-board map database as input for computing an attention plan for optimizing the use of the at least one detection device in the object detection system, said attention plan being outputted to the object detection system for control of said detection device. Further, a method is disclosed which relates to controlling an object detection system.

Abstract: A parking system of a vehicle is disclosed. The parking system is connected with a position input connection, for receiving vehicle position information from a positioning system. The system comprises a map database for extracting map information related to parking information for at least one of a current parking section and a nearby area, based on the vehicle position information, and an output connection for providing, based on the extracted parking information, an alerting signal indicating the extracted parking information.

Abstract: A method and system for controlling a vehicle includes receiving vehicle position information from a positioning system and combining the position information with information from a map database and a driver behavior model to control the vehicle's speed and braking for not only the current roadway the vehicle is operating on but also on upcoming road sections.

Abstract: A method is disclosed for controlling a vehicle, said vehicle having a cruise control system (1) being connected with a position input connection (5), for receiving vehicle position information from a positioning system (11), a map database (3), a driver information database (4), and an output connection, said method comprising the steps of receiving vehicle position information via said position input connection (5), extracting, from said map database (3), map information relating to at least one of a current and an upcoming road section, based on said vehicle position information, extracting, from said driver information database (4), information regarding previous driver behaviour for at least one of said current road section and a similar road section, generating, based on information from said input connection (5), said map database (3) and said driver information database (4), a speed plan for at least on of the current and upcoming road section, outputting, via said output connection, said speed plan.
