Abstract: A method for determining an intelligent preselection of suitable charging stations for involves providing an indication to perform a charging stop at a suitable charging station depending on a recorded variable in the form of at least one vehicle requirement, user requirement and/or environmental factor. A value of at least one vehicle requirement, user requirement, environmental factor, and/or a journey-specific factor deviating from the recorded variable is estimated by evaluating the recorded variable and at least one suitable charging station for carrying out the charging stop is suggested depending on the recorded variable and the estimated value by a comparison of the requirements and/or factors with at least one charging station-specific attribute.

Abstract: A toll system implements a payment process for traveling on a chargeable route segment with a vehicle. A mobile unit is assigned to the vehicle and a stationary unit is assigned to an operator of the chargeable route segment. A rate of a toll depends on at least two cost parameters. The mobile unit determines the at least two cost parameters and directly or indirectly communicates with the stationary unit in order to implement the payment process. The mobile unit also performs an optimization step in order to find an optimal, cost-effective parameter configuration.

Abstract: A method for providing context-dependent information about and/or paying for road sections subject to a toll on a route that is used by a vehicle. Information relating to the use of at least one road section subject to a toll is transmitted to a billing service provider authorized to bill for the payment. A current vehicle position and a current direction of travel of the vehicle are compared with a digital road map in order to detect when the vehicle approaches a road section subject to a toll, and, by manual call-up or when it is detected that the vehicle is approaching the road section subject to a toll, information characterizing the road section is displayed on a display in the vehicle, and/or an authorization to use the road section subject to a toll is obtained from the billing service provider.

Abstract: A method for filling an energy storage device of a motor vehicle by a charging device involves the motor vehicle being closer to the charging device than a predetermined threshold distance. A billing account associated with the motor vehicle is provided with a clearly identifiable, wirelessly transmitted identifier for the charging device by an electronic computing device of the motor vehicle. The energy storage device is filled by the charging device, and in accordance with the filling and the billing account is automatically debited.

Abstract: An information system in a vehicle includes a storage medium for storing data, a drive mechanism for driving the storage medium, a control device configured to control the drive mechanism of the storage medium at at least two different speeds, a first speed being higher than a second speed. The control device may be configured to store data on the storage medium by driving the drive mechanism to determine the standstill state of the vehicle using sensor data and to control the drive device at the first speed if the vehicle is at a standstill.

Abstract: A method for dynamically navigating a vehicle to its destination, whereby a vehicle-mounted device wirelessly requests route-related data for a driving destination from a traffic center, whereupon the traffic center calculates and stores a route to the driving destination for the vehicle and wirelessly transmits route-related data to the vehicle-mounted device. At least one interruption in traffic flow, which is not located on the calculated route, is monitored in the traffic center and the calculated route is, at least in part, recalculated in the event this interruption in traffic flow eases.

Abstract: A vehicle data bus system comprises a data bus to which several bus subscribers are connected for data transmission purposes. A positioning unit is provided as a bus subscriber and is equipped to determine at least vehicle position data and to transmit the determined vehicle position data to the data bus. The positioning unit comprises a positioning sensor system, which contains at least one GPS receiver and gyro-data detection means (12) in the form of a gyroscope or in the form of means for bus-side reception and evaluation of gyro-data. The positioning unit is also equipped to determine solar position data using the determined vehicle position data, and to transmit the determined solar position data to the data bus.

Abstract: A vehicle data bus system having one or more data buses, via which a plurality of connected bus users are connected for data transmission, having a sensor module which is embodied as a bus user and has a rotational speed sensor, the sensor module being configured to output rotational speed data onto the data bus, and having a vehicle movement dynamics/wheel slip control system which is embodied as a bus user and which is designed to receive at least the rotational speed data via the data bus. At least one further bus user is designed to receive the rotational speed data via the data bus, the sensor module is configured to preprocess the rotational speed data and to output the preprocessed rotational speed data onto the data bus, and the vehicle movement dynamics/wheel slip control system and/or the further bus user are configured to perform an offset correction of the received preprocessed rotational speed data.
