  • Publication number: 20230137142
    Abstract: A method for identifying potential hazard zones in road traffic by vehicles connected to a central computer unit involves recording an incident indicative of a potential hazard zone and transmitting it to the central computer unit with its geolocation. The transmitted incident is listed as a hotspot in a digital map if there are a large number of similar incidents with the same geolocation. Contextual information is added to the transmitted incident. The hotspot is analyzed for the identification of a potential hazard zone, a current hotspot is compared with confirmed hotspots, the hotspots are visualized on a platform, with a geolocation of a hotspot-confirmed traffic critical incident being transmitted to an authority to be checked and/or as a warning message to a vehicle currently near such an analyzed hotspot.

  • Patent number: 9593655
    Abstract: A fuel delivery system for a direct injection internal combustion engine having two fuel rails and a plurality of fuel injectors attached to and fluidly connected with each fuel rail. A first fuel pump has its output connected with the first fuel rail while a second fuel pump has its output connected with the second fuel rail. A crossover pipe fluidly connects the outlets of both the first and second pumps. Both the first pump and the second pump each have an intake stroke and a pumping stroke. Furthermore, the intake stroke of the first pump coincides with the pumping stroke of the second pump and vice versa.
