Abstract: A method for driving a motor vehicle within a parking area includes providing the motor vehicle with a motor vehicle AVP system, and operating the motor vehicle in a second AVP operating mode by way of the motor vehicle AVP system, with the motor vehicle driving according to an AVP type 2 within the parking area with the assistance of an infrastructure AVP. A handover process is carried out to switch the motor vehicle from the second AVP operating mode to a first AVP operating mode when a handover region of the parking area is reached by the motor vehicle, with the switching occurring when the handover process has been completed. The motor vehicle is operated in the first AVP operating mode after switching, with the motor vehicle driving according to the AVP type 1 within the parking area.

Abstract: An at least partially automated guidance of a motor vehicle includes receiving infrastructure-generated environment data describing an environment of the motor vehicle, and deciding, based on the infrastructure-generated environment data, which of three driving strategies to use for the at least partially automated guidance of the motor vehicle. The first driving strategy stipulates that only motor vehicle-generated environment data is used. The second driving strategy stipulates that both the motor vehicle-generated environment data and the infrastructure-generated environment data are used. The third driving strategy stipulates that only the infrastructure-generated environment data is used. On the basis of the decision, control signals for the at least partially automated control of the lateral and/or longitudinal guidance of the motor vehicle are generated and output.

An AVP system for a parking area, to a method for at least highly automated driving of a motor vehicle, to an AVP system for a motor vehicle, to a motor vehicle, to a computer program and to a machine-readable storage medium.

Abstract: A method for identifying an AVP motor vehicle for an AVP process, wherein a driving behavior of the AVP motor vehicle that is manually guided within a region of a parking area is determined on the motor vehicle side, wherein the driving behavior determined on the motor vehicle side is compared with a driving behavior, determined on the infrastructure side, of a motor vehicle located in the same region of the parking area or a plurality of motor vehicles located in the same region of the parking area in order to identify the AVP motor vehicle. Furthermore a method for identifying an AVP motor vehicle for an AVP process, to a device, to a motor vehicle, to a computer program, to a machine-readable storage medium and to a system for identifying an AVP motor vehicle for an AVP process.

Abstract: A battery system includes an auxiliary battery releasably coupled to a main battery. The main battery includes a charge controller and has a first output voltage. The main battery is configured to be electrically coupled to a bicycle drive unit and supply power to the drive unit. The auxiliary battery has a second output voltage. The auxiliary battery is releasably coupled to the main battery in series such that a total output voltage of the main battery and auxiliary battery is equal to a sum of the first and second output voltages.

Abstract: A method for operating a temperature-control device having a compressor line flowing a total mass flow of refrigerant and having a refrigerant compressor by which the refrigerant is conveyed and compressed, a condenser line branches off from the compressor line and flowing a first partial mass flow of the refrigerant, and having a first expansion valve to set and expand the first partial mass flow, and a condenser to condense the first partial mass flow arranged in the condenser line upstream of the first expansion valve. The refrigerant circuit includes a bypass line which is connected parallel to the condenser line and which branches off from the compressor line and through which a second partial mass flow of the refrigerant thus flows.

Abstract: The present invention refers to a method for depositing a chromium-comprising passivation layer on a zinc-comprising coating, wherein the zinc-comprising coating additionally comprises Fe, Sn, Mn, or mixtures thereof. The method utilizes a passivation composition comprising 0.001 mg/L to 200 mg/L, based on the total volume of the passivation composition, of at least one corrosion-inhibiting agent selected from the group consisting of unsubstituted azole compounds, substituted azole compounds, unsubstituted aliphatic organic acids with at least one mercapto-group, substituted aliphatic organic acids with at least one mercapto-group, salts, and mixtures thereof.

Abstract: The present inventions refers to a passivation composition for depositing a chromium-comprising passivation layer on a zinc or zinc-nickel coated substrate, the composition comprising: (i) trivalent chromium ions, (ii) at least one complexing agent for the trivalent chromium ions, being different from the at least one corrosion-inhibiting agent, and (iii) at least one corrosion-inhibiting agent, which is (A) one or more than one substituted azole compound and/or salts thereof, together in a total concentration below 10 mg/L, based on the total volume of the passivation composition, and/or (B) one or more than one unsubstituted or substituted aliphatic organic acid with at least one mercapto-group and/or salts thereof, together in a total concentration in a range from 0.001 mg/L to 100 mg/L, based on the total volume of the passivation composition.
