  • Publication number: 20190360820
    Abstract: A method and device for generating a highly precise map, including a step of receiving surrounding-area data values, which represent a surrounding area of a vehicle, the surrounding area encompassing at least one static surrounding-area feature and at least one mobile surrounding-area feature; including a step of receiving movement data values, which represent a movement of the at least one mobile surrounding-area feature in the surrounding area of the vehicle; including a step of generating a highly precise map on the basis of the surrounding-area data values, using the at least one static surrounding-area feature, and excluding the at least one mobile surrounding-area feature, the exclusion occurring as a function of the movement; and including a step of providing the highly precise map.

  • Patent number: 10386469
    Abstract: A method for ascertaining a useful width of a segment of a street, including traveling the street in a first direction of travel and ascertaining of parking spaces on the basis of echo profiles of an ascertaining device situated in an ascertaining vehicle; ascertaining of lateral distances between the ascertaining device and parked vehicles at both sides of the street, at least one ascertaining of parking spaces and lateral distances being carried out to the right of the ascertaining vehicle, and at least one ascertaining of the parking spaces and lateral distances being carried out to the left of the ascertaining vehicle; and ascertaining of the useful width from the ascertained lateral distances.

  • Publication number: 20190012918
    Abstract: A method for classifying a parking spot identified with the aid of a distance-based detection process for validity, including the following: comparing a position of the identified parking spot to a digital parking facility map which includes positions of valid and invalid parking areas; and classifying the identified parking spot as a valid or an invalid parking spot as a function of the comparison. Also described are a corresponding device, a corresponding parking guidance system, a corresponding motor vehicle, and a computer program.

  • Publication number: 20180364720
    Abstract: A method for creating a digital map for an automated vehicle, including identifying a first vehicle by a second vehicle or the second vehicle by the first vehicle, the first vehicle and/or the second vehicle being identified as data-detecting members of a creation process of the digital map; ascertaining a distance of the first vehicle from the second vehicle and/or a distance of the second vehicle from the first vehicle; and transmitting defined data of the vehicles and the distance between the vehicles to a creation unit for creating the digital map.

  • Publication number: 20180313652
    Abstract: In a method and a device for preparing and providing a highly accurate map, steps are performed which include receiving first surroundings data values that represent first surroundings of at least one vehicle and that are detected using a surroundings sensor system of the at least one vehicle; receiving second surroundings data values that represent second surroundings of at least one traffic infrastructure area and that are detected using at least one traffic infrastructure sensor; generating the highly accurate map based on the first and second surroundings data values, and outputting the highly accurate map.

  • Publication number: 20180260637
    Abstract: A method for detecting a parking area on at least one road section includes providing a usable width of the road section. The usable width represents a passable width of the road section between parking vehicles. The method further includes travelling on the road section using a detector vehicle and detecting lateral distances from objects with a detector device arranged in the detector vehicle. The method also includes comparing the detected lateral distances with the usable width, and detecting the parking area based on the comparison.
