  • Patent number: 11961398
    Abstract: Technologies and techniques for quality determination for a traffic system. First traffic parameter data is acquired from the traffic system, indicative of a parameter of the traffic system. Second traffic parameter data is acquired, indicative of another parameter of the traffic system, wherein the second traffic parameter data originate from a plurality of traffic participants. The parameter from the first traffic parameter data and second traffic parameter are obtained, wherein the parameter obtained from the first traffic parameter data is compared to the parameter obtained from the second traffic parameter data in order to determine the quality of the first traffic parameter data.

  • Publication number: 20220204048
    Abstract: Technologies and techniques for ascertaining a vehicle trajectory, via a system that includes a motor vehicle and a network server. Individual trajectories of a plurality of motor vehicles being traversed, and secondary information linked to the individual trajectories are detected. The individual trajectories of the plurality of motor vehicles, and the linked secondary information may be transmitted to a network server. A swarm trajectory may be ascertained by a network server as an average of the individual trajectories using the individual trajectories and the linked secondary information, wherein the average may be weighted using the secondary information. The network server may transmit the swarm trajectory to at least one motor vehicle. An associated motor vehicle configured for the system and network server is further disclosed.

  • Patent number: 11223775
    Abstract: A method for the spatially resolved detection of an object outside a transportation vehicle with the aid of a sensor installed in a transportation vehicle wherein the viewing direction of a transportation vehicle occupant is captured. The captured viewing direction is analyzed over a period and a region of interest outside the transportation vehicle is determined. The sensor is then spatially sensitized and/or oriented in the direction of the determined region of interest.

  • Patent number: 11161511
    Abstract: A method for assisting an operation at least of one transportation vehicle, a corresponding assist system and the corresponding transportation vehicle. Respective environmental data are collected by transportation vehicles in areas in which two roads meet. A respective priority action is automatically determined from the environmental data for the areas. The determined priority actions are used to automatically determine priority rules for the areas. The determined priority rules are provided to at least one transportation vehicle to be operated to assist the operation of the transportation vehicle.

  • Patent number: 10745025
    Abstract: A method for assisting a transportation vehicle occupant located in a transportation vehicle wherein user information regarding the behavior and/or the state of a transportation vehicle occupant and transportation vehicle parameters of the transportation vehicle are gathered. The gathered user information and transportation vehicle parameters are combined and jointly analyzed and at least one behavior pattern of the transportation vehicle occupant is determined from the jointly analyzed user information and transportation vehicle parameters. The behavior pattern is stored together with the user information. In a subsequent gathering of user information, this user information is compared with the user information behavior pattern previously stored. When there is conformance with the behavior pattern, a transportation vehicle function is automatically carried out.

  • Publication number: 20200210691
    Abstract: A method for sending information for a gesture communication between two road users, wherein a first road user is in an ego transportation vehicle and a second road user is in another transportation vehicle in the vehicle surroundings of the ego transportation vehicle. The method includes detecting the hand and/or finger of the first road user in the ego transportation vehicle by sensor; ascertaining a gesture that the first road user makes in the ego transportation vehicle with his hand and/or finger; evaluating the ascertained gesture to determine whether the ascertained gesture is a gesture for gesture communication and is directed at a second road user in another transportation vehicle; and sending a signal containing information about the ascertained gesture for gesture communication to the second road user by the first road user in response to the ascertained gesture being directed at a second road user in another transportation vehicle.

  • Publication number: 20110090954
    Abstract: An encoded video in the form of a bitstream includes a sequence of frames, and each frame is partitioned into encoded blocks. A context for decoding is selected for each encoded block. The bitstream is entropy decoded based on the context to obtain a transform indicator difference. The transform index, which indicates a transform type and a transform direction, is based on the transform indicator difference and a predicted transform indicator. Transform coefficients are obtained from the bitstream, and inverse transformed according to the transform index to produce a decoded video.
