Abstract: Method for an electrically drivable vehicle, in particular a utility vehicle, with an energy storage device and an electric drive capable of regenerative braking, wherein the energy storage device can be charged during regenerative braking and the energy storage device can be charged at a vehicle-external charging station, the method including the steps: determining a state of charge, wherein the state of charge includes information about whether the energy storage device is being charged by the vehicle-external charging station; detecting, depending on the state of charge, vehicle information concerning the vehicle, in particular the utility vehicle, and position information concerning the position of the vehicle, in particular the utility vehicle; transmitting the vehicle information and the position information to an external server; and receiving a target state of charge from the vehicle-external server.

Abstract: A method is for detecting the position of at least one mobile, interchangeable load carrier that is movable by a commercial vehicle, in a delimited detection area, in particular a depot, in which the at least one mobile, interchangeable load carrier is moved by vehicles. Accommodation operations and/or offloading events of the mobile, interchangeable load carrier in the detection area are determined by the vehicle as notification events, position data for identifying the position in the detection area are determined for the notification events, and position notification signals are formed by the commercial vehicle from the determined notification events and from the position data, and are transmitted to a communication center of the detection area via a wireless network. In the communication center, the current position data of the load carrier are determined from the received position notification signals and are stored in a memory and continuously updated.

Abstract: A method is for setting up a data connection between a terminal device of a telematics system in a vehicle and a central module of a stationary local area network (SLAN). The SLAN covers a depot. The method includes: providing access data for identifying and authenticating the terminal device in the SLAN, the access data being provided via an access network differing from the SLAN; transferring the provided access data to the terminal device in an automated manner using the access network; setting up a connection between the terminal device and the central module of the SLAN in an automated manner when the vehicle having the terminal device is located in range; authenticating the terminal device in an automated manner on the basis of the access data to check authenticity of the terminal device; and, authorizing the terminal device and/or the vehicle automatically if the terminal device is authentic.

Abstract: A method for establishing a wireless data link between at least two vehicles which are connected to one another via a physical data link includes transmitting link parameters of the wireless link via the physical data link connecting the at least two vehicles and establishing the wireless link using the link parameters transmitted via the physical data link connecting the at least two vehicles.

Abstract: A method is for activating a vehicle function, wherein a controller for activating the vehicle function checks an access authorization of the mobile device and activates the vehicle function only if the authorization is acceptable. The method includes: a) the controller sending a request to the mobile device demanding transmission of the authorization for a vehicle function, b) the mobile device receiving the request from the controller and sending the authorization to the controller, c) the controller checking the authorization and activates the vehicle function if the authorization is acceptable, d) the mobile device sending the authorization only if the device was previously actuated for the purpose of authorization and thus was authorized to send the authorization, e) and the controller activating the vehicle function only if a signal of a sensor device actuatable by the user has previously been received by the controller.
