Abstract: A method for mapping a route section. The method includes providing a central mapping server equipped with a server-side communication interface; providing at least one fleet vehicle of a vehicle fleet equipped with at least one sensor which is suitable for detecting mapping data, and with a vehicle-side communication interface, the server-side communication interface and the vehicle-side communication interface being configured to exchange data; making a mapping decision by decision-making logic implemented on the mapping server, and transmitting an individual mapping request which is based on the mapping decision to the at least one fleet vehicle, it being possible for the mapping request to include different pieces of information for individual fleet vehicles; and transmitting mapping data from the at least one fleet vehicle to the mapping server as a function of the individual mapping request and the use of the mapping data during the mapping of the route section.

Abstract: A method and device for generating a highly precise map, including a step of receiving surrounding-area data values, which represent a surrounding area of a vehicle, the surrounding area encompassing at least one static surrounding-area feature and at least one mobile surrounding-area feature; including a step of receiving movement data values, which represent a movement of the at least one mobile surrounding-area feature in the surrounding area of the vehicle; including a step of generating a highly precise map on the basis of the surrounding-area data values, using the at least one static surrounding-area feature, and excluding the at least one mobile surrounding-area feature, the exclusion occurring as a function of the movement; and including a step of providing the highly precise map.

Abstract: In a method and a device for preparing and providing a highly accurate map, steps are performed which include receiving first surroundings data values that represent first surroundings of at least one vehicle and that are detected using a surroundings sensor system of the at least one vehicle; receiving second surroundings data values that represent second surroundings of at least one traffic infrastructure area and that are detected using at least one traffic infrastructure sensor; generating the highly accurate map based on the first and second surroundings data values, and outputting the highly accurate map.

Abstract: A method for optimizing a digital map for an automated vehicle includes selecting an area of the digital map, ascertaining a localization quality provided with the aid of the digital map in the selected area based on usage data of the digital map, and providing at least one suggestion for optimizing landmarks of the digital map with respect to an electronic memory requirement of the digital map.
