Abstract: An assistance system/method for cooperative maneuver planning is taught, wherein in each vehicle, a planned trajectory and a desired trajectory are selected depending on a cost function; wherein a most economical first trajectory is generated which is free of collisions with planned and desired trajectories of other vehicles, and i) wherein a most economical second trajectory is generated which ignores planned and desired trajectories of other vehicles and is transmitted as a desired trajectory only if a cost difference between the first and the second trajectory is greater than a minimum cost reduction value, wherein additionally/alternatively to i), a most economical third trajectory is generated which is free of collisions with planned trajectories of other vehicles but ignores their desired trajectories, wherein a desired trajectory of another vehicle is accepted if a cost difference between the first and the third trajectory is less than a maximum cost increase value.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides new and innovative systems and methods for automating functional safety scoring in applications. An example method includes a computing device having a processor detecting a requirement to generate a functional safety score for at least a portion of a program. The functional safety score may be based on a functional safety standard (e.g., the ISO 26262 standard). The method may further include determining one or more provisions of the functional safety standard; and identifying one or more signatures for each of the one or more provisions. For each provision, the processor may query the portion of the program for the corresponding one or more signatures. For each provision, the processor may determine a subscore based on the query for the corresponding one or more signatures, resulting in a set of subscores. Based on the set of subscores, the processor may generate the functional safety score.

Abstract: A method for regulating the light emission from a vehicle light, wherein a road user located in the light emission direction of the vehicle light is detected, and the light emission from the vehicle light is changed, whereupon response data on the response of the road user to the change in the light emission are acquired. Prediction data indicating the response expected from a road user located in the light emission direction of the vehicle light to the changed light emission are determined. The acquired response data are compared with the determined prediction data, if the prediction data deviate from the response data, the adjustment in the light emission from the vehicle light by which a reduction in the deviation is predicted is determined, and the light emission is regulated according to the determined adjustment. Further, the invention relates to a device for carrying out this method.
