Abstract: A method for setting up a movement model of a road user includes reading in a current movement vector of the road user, averaging movement vectors read in over of period of time to obtain a characteristic movement value of the road user for the period of time, and ascertaining a movement model using the movement value.

Abstract: A method and device for influencing a climate in the interior of a motor vehicle, the influence occurring at least as a function of one operating state and/or operating behavior of the motor vehicle ascertained before the influence.

Abstract: A method for monitoring a traffic space, the method including a step for reading in, a step for ascertaining, a step for comparing, and a step for supplying. In the step of reading in, an item of positional information and/or a movement vector of a rod user within the traffic space is/are read in. In the step of ascertaining, a future position of the road user within the traffic space is ascertained using the item of positional information and/or the movement vector. In the step of comparing, the future position is compared with an item of risk information. The item of risk information represents at least one dangerous area of the traffic space. In the step of supplying, a warning signal is supplied on the basis of a result of the comparison.

Abstract: A method is described for triggering pedestrian protection means and/or pedestrian warning means for a vehicle, in which objects in a surrounding area of the vehicle are detected, pedestrians are identified from the detected objects, a situation is analyzed as a function of the detected objects and a model assumption, the pedestrian protection means or pedestrian warning means are triggered as a function of the situation analysis, features of the identified pedestrians are ascertained, and the model assumption is selected or set up as a function of the ascertained features.

Abstract: A method for controlling a headlamp of a vehicle includes performing an image evaluation to detect a reflection zone of an object located in the surroundings of the vehicle in at least one image of the surroundings of the vehicle. The method further includes providing a control signal for controlling the headlamp. The control signal is configured to intensify a light emission of the headlamp in the direction of the reflection zone.

Abstract: A method and device for influencing a climate in the interior of a motor vehicle, the influence occurring at least as a function of one operating state and/or operating behavior of the motor vehicle ascertained before the influence.

Abstract: A method for highlighting an expected movement path of a vehicle, the method including a step of determining a traffic situation using an item of information concerning a surrounding environment of the vehicle. In addition, the method includes a step of determining the expected movement path based on the traffic situation. In addition, the method includes a step of providing a control signal for controlling a roadway marking device using the movement path in order to highlight the expected movement path.

Abstract: A method, a computer program and a computer program product for operating a vehicle, which includes as a drive device a least one electric motor, that is associated with at least one electric store, wherein the electric store is charged by an external energy source when the vehicle is at rest. During the charging process, at least initially at least one testing device of the vehicle is activated for monitoring the charging process as well as the rest state of the vehicle, and only when an error state is detected by the testing device at least one safety device of the vehicle is activated.

Abstract: A method for an automatic intervention into an ego vehicle when it is traveling erroneously, in particular when it is traveling the wrong way, on a road, via a safety device or a safety system of the ego vehicle, the wrong-way travel of the ego vehicle on the road initially being detected, and automated backward travel being able to be carried out by the ego vehicle chronologically after the detection of the wrong-way travel. Furthermore, the invention relates to a computer program product which is configured to carry out an intervention method according to the present invention; a computing unit or a processing device, which may be a control unit or a control device for a vehicle; and a safety device or a safety system for a vehicle, in particular a driver assistance system for a motor vehicle.

Abstract: A device for controlling the brake pressure in a hydraulic brake system with the aid of a pressure-limiting valve that limits the brake pressure to a predefined threshold value, and to that end is driven by an electronic device in accordance with a valve characteristic curve. The setting accuracy can be improved considerably if an estimating unit for estimating the brake pressure, a sensor system for measuring the brake pressure, a unit for determining a pressure difference between the measured brake pressure and the estimated brake pressure, as well as a controller unit which drives the pressure-limiting valve as a function of the pressure difference are provided.

Abstract: A method for changing a light emission of at least one headlight of a vehicle. The method includes reading in a position signal which represents a position of the object in front of or alongside the vehicle. The method also includes changing the light emission from at least one headlight of the vehicle onto the object or into the surroundings of the object, using the position signal. For the change, a changing illumination pattern is emitted onto the object or into the surroundings of the object in order to change the light emission of the at least one headlight of the vehicle.
