Abstract: A method of determining absolute rolling circumferences of tires of a motor vehicle is disclosed, in which the absolute rolling circumferences (Ui) of the tires are determined by evaluating wheel rotational speed signals (?i) and signals (dj) of at least one distance sensor, as well as a tire pressure check system.

Abstract: A method for assisting a driver when parking or maneuvering a motor vehicle having at least one driver assistance system and a vehicle safety system is provided. The method includes the steps of detecting the surroundings and calculating a desired path in a calculation model, in which the differences in traveling distance between the individual wheels are monitored and determined by means of the vehicle safety system. The desired path is predicted in a calculation model by means of the differences in traveling distance, and detection of the surroundings is carried out by means of the driver assistance system. Furthermore, a system which is suitable to implement the method is provided.

Abstract: Disclosed is a method of determining the ability to enter a parking gap starting from an initial position of a vehicle. The negotiability is determined by way of two characteristic diagrams (ymin(?,?,x); ymax(?,?,x)), with the two characteristic diagrams (ymin(?,?,x); ymax(?,?,x)) indicating for several predetermined sets of values of first vehicle quantities (?; ?; x) a minimum value (ymin(?,?,x)) and a maximum value (ymax(?,?, x)) for a second vehicle quantity (y), and with the first vehicle quantities (?; ?; x) and the second vehicle quantity (y) being selected from the group comprising a longitudinal (x) and a lateral (y) distance of the vehicle (1) from the parking gap (9), a yaw angle (?) of the vehicle (1) and a steering angle (?) at steerable wheels (2a, 2b) of the vehicle (1). A parking assist device is suitable to implement the method.

Abstract: Disclosed is a method for steering a vehicle to be parked in reverse into a parking gap where a nominal parking trajectory of the vehicle is determined by a control unit and where a steering angle of the steered wheels of the vehicle that must be set for negotiating the parking gap is determined on the basis of the nominal parking trajectory. The nominal parking trajectory (yB (x)) is determined on the basis of a position of the vehicle from two reference trajectories (yLower (x); yUpper (x)), and the reference trajectories (yLower (x); yUpper (x)) represent parking trajectories for parking, starting from different start points.

Abstract: With a parking assistance system for a vehicle, in which autonomous driving or steering of the vehicle on a path for maneuvering into a parking space is make possible or a driver of the vehicle is assisted in a parking maneuver on the path for parking in the parking space by means of a steering torque applied to the steering wheel, whereby the driver is guided by at least one artificial steering stop, preferably one or two artificial steering stops, on the path for driving into the parking space, and the parking space is measured by a lateral distance measurement and the position is determined from signals from wheel rpm sensors and a steering angle sensor.

Abstract: Disclosed is a parking assistance for a vehicle. In autonomous parking on a path for parking the vehicle, the driver of the vehicle is assisted in a parking maneuver on the path for parking the vehicle by a steering torque applied to the steering wheel. The driver is guided on the path for parking the vehicle by one or two artificial steering stops and the path for parking the vehicle is divided into a maneuvering path in the area of a parking space and an approach path situated prior to the maneuvering path in accordance with the starting position of the vehicle.

Abstract: In the case of a parking aid for a motor vehicle having a vehicle steering system with a manual steering wheel and a steering torque regulating module by means of which a steering torque can be applied to the steering wheel, the parking aid cooperates with the torque regulating module according to this invention and an additional steering torque is applied via the steering wheel by means of which the driver of the vehicle is assisted in a parking maneuver.

Abstract: To palletize stacks of flat objects, preferably stacks of sacks or bags, the stacks are deposited in several layers one on top of the other on a pallet in such a manner that the stacks of each layer overlap at least two stacks of the layer lying underneath. To palletize stacks of flat objects with higher productivity, large packages, which comprise partially overlapping stacks, are made from at least two stacks before the stacks are deposited.
