Abstract: A device and method predict a behavior of a road user. The device is configured to provide at least one hypothesis for the behavior of the road user, to provide, for each hypothesis, a hidden Markov model, the hidden Markov model including, for the particular hypothesis, two hidden states, with one of these hidden states representing the road user following the hypothesis and the other of these states representing the road user not following the hypothesis, and possible observations of the hidden Markov model characterizing, for the particular hypothesis, at least one feature of the road user, and to predict the behavior of the road user depending on the hidden states of the hidden Markov model for the at least one hypothesis.

Abstract: A device for determining at least one position of a mobile terminal includes at least one memory apparatus, a magnetometer sensor unit, a classification unit, and a position-determining unit to determine the position of the mobile terminal. The classification unit is configured to determine states, in particular operating states, of at least one electric motor and/or a vehicle driven by means of at least one electric motor using the magnetometer sensor data. The classification unit is also configured to store the determined states in the at least one memory apparatus. The position-determining unit reads out the states from the at least one memory apparatus and determines the at least one position of the mobile terminal with the help of the states.

Abstract: The disclosure is directed to determining an actual point-of-interest (POI). For example, using at least one computing device, a first set of probable POIs corresponding to a first geographical location and first POI category information may be determined. The at least one computing device may also be used to determine a second set of probable POIs corresponding to a second geographical location and determine second POI category information. By analyzing the first and second POI category information, the actual POI from the first and second set of probable POIs may be determined.

Abstract: A display device includes an electronically controllable display element for graphical display, a mirror unit which displays an object in mirror image, and a data interface configured to retrieve and/or receive mobility-related data from at least one data source.

Abstract: A computer implemented method for recommending car/passenger resources for a user includes extracting a trip including a start and a destination from location data of the user, wherein paths with the same start and the same destination are clustered into one trip, and generating time information corresponding to the trip, according to time data corresponding to the paths clustered into the trip, wherein the time information includes a range of departure time. The method includes calculating a frequency of occurrences for one trip within a predetermined time period as a habit value of the trip for the user. The trip, including the start and the destination, the time information corresponding to the trip, the habit value of the trip, and transport modality information indicating the user as a driver or a passenger, are combined to generate mobility habit data for the user.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method for detecting modes of transportation of a user includes detecting one or more key points in a digital map, determining a key point of the one or more key points within a predefined range of a current position of the user, and determining one or more further key points associated with the determined key point. The method also includes tracking, by each of the one or more further key points, whether the user stops at a particular key point of the one or more further key points, and setting a mode of transportation of the user to a public transportation mode in response to said tracking indicating that the user stops at the particular key point of the one or more further key points.
