  • Publication number: 20190047575
    Abstract: A method for determining a coefficient of friction for a contact between a tire of a vehicle includes processing sensor signals using a stochastic filter in order to generate processed sensor signals. The sensor signals represent status data pertaining to an environment region including the roadway, which are read in by at least one detection device, and which are able to be correlated with the coefficient of friction. The status data can be used as observed values in the stochastic filter. The method also includes ascertaining the coefficient of friction using the processed sensor signals.

  • Patent number: 9786166
    Abstract: In a method for checking the plausibility of a wrong-way driving of a motor vehicle when entering a unidirectional roadway, a traversing of a stop line or a solid line of a junction of the unidirectional roadway is detected and/or at least one item of directional information of a roadway of the junction, which is located ahead of the motor vehicle, is collected, and a probability of a wrong-way driving is ascertained based on the detection. The method is performed by a control and detection unit for checking the plausibility of a wrong-way driving.
