Abstract: An article of cleated footwear includes an outsole plate and an upper. The outsole plate includes a rigid first member and a second rigid member. The first rigid member extends substantially along the length of the outsole, and the rigid second member is attached to the first member. The first member and/or the second member has a ground-engaging profile. The upper is attached to the first member.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method for generating non-semantic reference data for determining the position of a motor vehicle involves a set of raw data points being provided that models a stipulated surrounding area. A stipulated descriptor characterizing a property of the surrounding area is determined for each of the raw data points. At least one point cluster is generated by grouping the raw data points on the basis of their descriptors. A characteristic number relating to an information gain for determining the position of the motor vehicle is assigned to a first point cluster on the basis of the descriptors of the raw data points. The characteristic number is taken as a basis for storing feature information of the first point cluster on a memory unit as non-semantic reference data for determining the position.

Abstract: A method for providing map data which include position information for first landmarks of a first landmark class, collecting environment data, and determining a position of the mobile unit. Training data are generated and stored for the first landmarks based on the position of the mobile unit, the collected environment data and the position information. Based on the training data, a first detector module is generated for detecting the first landmark class. The position determination system includes a memory unit for providing map data which include position information for first landmarks of a first landmark class, a data acquisition unit for collecting environment data, a localization unit for determining a position of the mobile unit, and a processing unit for generating and storing training data based on the position of the mobile unit, the collected environment data and the position information for the first landmarks.

Abstract: A method for updating a map of the surrounding area wherein the map is used when controlling a transportation vehicle. The transportation vehicle attempts, when travelling along a carriageway, to detect a landmark recorded in the map of the surrounding area using sensors. In response to the transportation vehicle being unable to detect the landmark using its sensors, the transportation vehicle prepares a proposal for deletion which is sent to an external central computer. The proposal for deletion is examined in the external central computer and deletes the landmark from the map of the surrounding area in response to the proposal for deletion being verified. In the method, information regarding a visibility range for the landmark is entered in the map of the surrounding area specifying at what range the landmark is visible from a road permitting a more effective detection of landmarks.

Abstract: A method for estimating the quality of localization using sensor detection, wherein the vehicle detects dynamic objects on the road and in the direct surroundings of the road and estimates the dimensions of the objects. The movement of these objects in the near future is estimated. The outer casings of these objects are entered into a map of the surroundings. From the perspective of the sensors used to detect the features in the surroundings, the limitations of the fields of view and the predicted temporal development thereof resulting from the movement of the transportation vehicle and the predicted movements of the objects are entered into the map of the surroundings. The surrounding features that have been entered into the map of the surroundings and which may at visible in the near future are determined. An upper limit for a measure of the quality of localization is estimated.

Abstract: A method for providing an information signal (8) for at least partially automatic vehicle control involves an environment sensor system (3) of a motor vehicle (1) being used to generate measurement data for surroundings of the motor vehicle (1). A computing unit (2) of the motor vehicle (1) is used to identify an object (7) and a landmark (5) on the basis of the measurement data. The computing unit (4) is used to determine a first relative position of the object (7) in relation to the landmark (5) on the basis of the measurement data. A communication interface (4) of the motor vehicle (1) is used to generate the information signal (8) on the basis of the first relative position.
