  • Publication number: 20230286598
    Abstract: An aerodynamic system may have at least one adjustable aerodynamic element on a leading vehicle. The system may include a sensor device, which is located on the trailing vehicle and is configured to detect status information for the leading vehicle. The system also may include an evaluation unit that is configured to determine a target setting for the aerodynamic element on the basis of respective available settings for the aerodynamic element, the obtained status information, and an optimizing variable. A control unit in the system may be configured to adjust the aerodynamic element to the target setting. A method for controlling the adjustable aerodynamic element may also be included.

  • Publication number: 20220105945
    Abstract: A computing device for an automated vehicle for identifying high tension power lines is proposed, comprising at least one first interface for receiving object data regarding at least one overhead power line pole in an environment of the automated vehicle, at least one computing module intended for evaluating the object data to classify the overhead power line pole in a pole class in order to determine a course of the power lines on the basis of the classification and to determine at least one control or regulating signal for a vehicle control unit in the automated vehicle on the basis of the determined course of the power lines, and at least one second interface for providing the control or regulating signal to the vehicle control unit.
