Abstract: A method for the preparation of an obstacle map, wherein the obstacle map comprises cells, includes assigning each of the cells to segments of an environment of the vehicle, and assigning to each of the cells information as to whether the corresponding segment of the environment is occupied by an obstacle. The method also includes preparing an environment map that comprises the cells, and determining a threshold value specification, where the threshold value specification specifies different threshold values for the cells of the environment map. The threshold value specification is determined depending on a trajectory of the vehicle. An obstacle map is then determined on the basis of the environment map and the threshold value specification.

Abstract: To a watercraft which includes a main hull and at least one outrigger which is fastened in a height-adjustable manner to the main hull.

Abstract: The invention relates to a watercraft (10) having a hull (4) and at least one float (5), which is connected to the hull (4) via at least one kinematic connection (6), wherein the kinematic connection (6) comprises a first leg (1), which is linked at one end on the hull (4) and at the other end on the float (5) and is variable in its length by a first actuator (11), characterized in that the kinematic connection (6) comprises a second leg (2), which is linked at one end on the hull (4) and at the other end on a leg (1, 3) extending between hull (4) and float (5), preferably on the first leg (1) and is variable in its length by a second actuator (12), and/or a third leg (3), which is linked at one end on the first leg (1) or on the hull (4) and at the other end on the float (5) and is variable in its length by a third actuator (13), wherein the linkage point of the first leg (1) on the float (5) is spaced apart from the linkage point of the third leg (3) on the float (5).

Abstract: A method provides an environmental map for a vehicle, wherein the environmental map represents a section of the environment and includes cells which are each assigned to a subsection of the environment of the vehicle. Each cell is assigned occupancy information which is based on the probability of the presence of an object in the subsection assigned to the cell in question. The vehicle has a group of at least two driver assistance systems which are each configured to adopt an active and an inactive state and which, in the active state require occupancy information concerning sections of the environment which at least do not overlap completely. The method determines the driver assistance system(s) which is(are) in the active state; determines the section of the environment that the environmental map is intended to represent, on the basis of the section(s) about which the driver assistance system(s) in the active state require(s) occupancy information.

Abstract: The invention relates to a watercraft (1) having a hull (2) and at least one arm (3) protruding from the hull (2), on which at least two hydrofoils (4, 5) are mounted so they are each pivotable about a first pivot axis (6), preferably about a shared pivot axis. To improve the maneuverability and stability of the watercraft, the at least two hydrofoils (4, 5) are pivotable independently of one another.
