Abstract: A method is disclosed for producing a communications link between a motor vehicle and a mobile user terminal. The mobile user terminal and/or the motor vehicle send a request to establish a communications link between the motor vehicle and the mobile user terminal. A check is carried out as to whether the mobile user terminal is configured to output a transfer indication sent from the motor vehicle to the mobile user terminal. A communications link is established between motor vehicle and mobile user terminal if the check is successful. A communications link is not established between motor vehicle and mobile user terminal if the check is unsuccessful.

Abstract: A method for positioning a vehicle includes deriving an estimated position of the vehicle by way of a satellite signal received from the vehicle, receiving a correction signal from a second vehicle, and correcting the estimated position by way of the correction signal.

Abstract: A method and system are disclosed to account for improving the accuracy of a calculated position of a vehicle in transit. Position measurement values for different locations are collected. Position measurement values of a plurality of vehicles are collected such that the method is particularly effective in instances, in which dense traffic makes it desirable to determine the position of the vehicles in a particularly accurate fashion. Each position measurement value is allocated to a section of a traffic route. A systematic deviation is estimated based on a comparison of the position measurement values allocated to the section with a reference position. Finally, a position value measured along the traffic route section by the systematic deviation is corrected.

Abstract: A method for localizing a vehicle using vehicle-to-X communications is disclosed which provides improved position data. Signals from at least one object arranged outside a vehicle are received using a receiving unit arranged in the vehicle. A signal strength of the received signals is respectively measured and first position data of the vehicle is obtained by utilizing a determined position of using object. Second position data is determined based on the first position data. The signal strength or a change in the received signal strength is incorporated into the determination of the second position data.

Abstract: A device for determining if the absolute mileage of a vehicle has been manipulated is disclosed. The device includes a first sensor to determine a first absolute mileage of the vehicle and a second sensor to determine a second absolute mileage of the vehicle. The first and second sensors differ in terms of the sensor and computing method for determining the first and second absolute mileage. For example, the first sensor may be a convention mileage device and the second sensor may be a GPS-enabled device. A comparator determines a difference between the first and second absolute mileage. If the difference exceeds a prescribed limiting value, the comparator generates a warning signal, and stores this warning signal in the storage device. A display is used to display the first absolute mileage in the vehicle.

Abstract: A method is provided for operating a sensor of a vehicle. The sensor is configured to detect objects within a detection range and the method includes, but is not limited to detecting an object with the sensor. In addition, a position of the object is determined with data from the sensor. Furthermore, position data emitted by the object is received with a receiving apparatus of the vehicle and the position of the object is determined with the position data. Moreover, the position determined with the sensor is compared with the position of the object and comparative data is determined and an automatic adjustment of the sensor and/or output of a message inside the vehicle is made depending on the comparative data.

Abstract: The present disclosure pertains to a method for operating a motor vehicle using a driver assistance system based on a kinematic setpoint. A relevant road section is determined from a plurality of road sections that are respectively linked with a road section-specific kinematic variable. Then, the kinematic setpoint is determined based on the kinematic variable that is linked with the determined relevant road section.

Abstract: A method is provided for operating at least one sensor of a vehicle. The at least one sensor is configured for detecting objects lying within a predetermined detection range and the method includes, but is not limited to: position data emitted by at least one object is received by means of a receiving apparatus of the vehicle. In addition, a position of the at least one object is determined by means of the position data received from the at least one object and a comparison is made as to whether the determined position lies within the predetermined detection range of the at least one sensor. If the determined position lies within the predetermined detection range of the at least one sensor, it is further determined whether the at least one object is detected by the at least one sensor. If the at least one object is not detected by the at least one sensor, an instantaneous detection range of the at least one sensor is further determined by means of the determined position of the at least one object.
