Abstract: A method for simulating a collision situation between two vehicles for testing a driver assistance system in a driving simulator or in a Vehicle-in-the-Loop scenario. A fellow vehicle simulated on a simulation computer is assigned a trajectory that passes through a point of collision of a planned collision between the fellow vehicle and an ego vehicle that is not controlled by the simulation computer. The driver assistance system is equipped to exchange data with the simulated environment in real time and to influence the driving behavior of the ego vehicle in a collision situation. A target distance to the point of collision is determined for the fellow vehicle that the fellow vehicle would have to have in order to arrive at the point of collision simultaneously or substantially simultaneously with the ego vehicle, under the assumption that it travels at the specified arrival speed.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method for implementing a V2X application on target hardware having a radio adapter is provided. The V2X application is modeled in the form of a block diagram, wherein received telematics data of surrounding objects are recorded in an LDM object list. Detected telematics data of surrounding objects are recorded in a sensor object list, and, by comparing the LDM object list with the sensor object list, a telematics data comparison block determines differential surrounding objects that are recorded only in the sensor object list. For at least one differential surrounding object, a proxy V2X message with the telematics data of this differential surrounding object is created, and the block diagram is translated into a program that can be executed on the target hardware. The program is transferred to the target hardware and executed there, and the proxy message is sent by the target hardware over the radio adapter.

Abstract: A computer-based system and method for assigning at least one signal of a symbol-based program to at least one I/O functionality of a target hardware unit is provided. A modeling tool has a symbol-based program with the signal that is to be assigned. The signal to be assigned of the symbol-based program and the at least one I/O functionality of the target hardware unit are specified in a configuration tool. Using the modeling tool, an I/O functionality of the target hardware unit is assigned in the symbol-based program to the signal that is to be assigned. A signal assignment information item is generated in the modeling tool from this assignment. The signal assignment information item is transmitted from the modeling tool to the configuration tool, and the configuration tool takes over the assignment to the I/O functionality of the target hardware unit of the signal to be assigned of the symbol-based program according to the signal assignment information item.

Abstract: A method and data processing system for linking a plurality of data structures of a data processing system with a plurality of elements of a man-machine interface (MMI) are provided. The method includes the steps: provision of an MMI with a plurality of elements, arranging a plurality of data structures in a list, selection of an element of the MMI by a user, automatic linking of a first data structure from the list with the selected element of the MMI, and setting the beginning of the list to the data structure that follows the previously linked data structure in the list. The steps of selection of an element of the MMI by a user, automatic linking of a first data structure from the list with the selected element of the MMI, and setting the beginning of the list to the data structure are carried out repeatedly.
