  • Patent number: 12689876
    Abstract: The disclosure refers to a vehicle and a sensor, which are configured for a quality measurement of a road side unit. The vehicle comprises at least one sensor, a communication interface, and a controller. The controller is configured for receiving a first message from the RSU via the communication interface, the first message being based on a second sensor value obtained by a sensor of the RSU and corresponding to a first sensor value detected by the sensor of the vehicle. The controller is further configured for determining a deviation based on the first sensor value and the second sensor value and transmitting a second message to the server via the communication interface, the second message comprising the deviation.

  • Patent number: 12087157
    Abstract: A transportation vehicle, a method, a computer program and an apparatus for combining object information relating to one or more objects in an environment of a transportation vehicle from different data sources. The method includes capturing a first item of environmental information relating to the environment by at least one sensor arranged on the transportation vehicle, receiving at least one second item of environmental information relating to the environment from a transmitter separated from the transportation vehicle, determining at least one first item of object information from the first environmental information, determining at least one second item of object information from the second environmental information, and assigning the first meta information and the second meta information to one another based on a comparison of a tolerance range with a discrepancy between the first object information and the second object information.
