Abstract: The disclosure relates to the process of ascertaining an input variable of a vehicle actuator using a model-based predictive control. According to one exemplary arrangement, a processor unit is designed to access trajectory information and a state data set, which represents a state of surroundings of a vehicle and/or the state of the vehicle and/or a driving state of the vehicle, by an interface. The processor unit carries out a secondary condition algorithm in order to calculate a secondary condition and an MPC algorithm for a model-based predictive control. By carrying out the secondary condition algorithm, a secondary condition is ascertained for the MPC algorithm on the basis of the trajectory information and on the basis of the state data set. By carrying out the MPC algorithm, an input variable is ascertained for an actuator of the vehicle on the basis of the secondary condition.

Abstract: A charging vehicle (1) for charging an electric vehicle (2) has a charging system (3), a charging regulator (4), a control device (5) and a contact system (6). The charging system (3) is connected to the charging regulator (4) and the contact system (6). The contact system (6) serves to supply the charging vehicle (1) with electric energy. The charging system (3) is a contactless charging system (3). The charging vehicle (1) can be controlled by the control device (5) in a longitudinal direction and a transverse direction and can be positioned, by the control device (5), into a charging position (7).

Abstract: A parking vehicle for the transport and parking of an electric vehicle. The parking vehicle has a platform on which the electric vehicle can be parked and has a charging system to charge the electric vehicle. The charging system has an electric energy storage which is connected to a contact system. The charging system is connected to the platform. The parking vehicle is connected to an electric energy supply which is connected to the charging system. The parking vehicle has a charging regulator connected to the charging system. The parking vehicle has a communications device which transmits and receives the data of an external system. The parking vehicle has a control device connected with the communications device. Movement of the parking vehicle is controlled in longitudinal and transverse directions by the control device.

Abstract: A method (200) for the selective notification of a person (110) on board a motor vehicle (105) including steps of receiving (205) a message; and activating a sound transducer (120) on board the motor vehicle (105) to emit sound waves (145). The sound waves (145) are amplitude-modulated by a modulation signal associated with the message. The sound transducer (120) is designed to emit ultrasound directed toward the person (110) to receive the notification, and a frequency of the modulation signal is within the audible range.

Abstract: A transverse control arm (1) of an axle arrangement for a vehicle having two transverse control arm struts (2, 3) and at least three kinematics points (4, 5, 6). Each of the two transverse control arm struts (2, 3) has a carrier hub end (9) and a carriage end (10). At least one of the two transverse control arm struts (2, 3) has a curvature (7) in a spatial direction, and this spatial direction being along a vertical axis that extends generally perpendicular relative to the plane defined by the at least three kinematic points (4, 5, 6).
