  • Publication number: 20190139408
    Abstract: A device for detecting a change in movement of a vehicle and for transmitting movement data values, includes a sensor unit, a localization unit, an evaluating unit, and a transmitting and/or receiving unit. A server for receiving movement data values and providing a warning about a case of wrong-way driving includes a transmitting and/or receiving unit and a processing unit. A method for determining whether a vehicle is traveling in the wrong direction includes determining a traffic route on which the vehicle is located, gathering movement data values that represent at least one measure for a change in movement of the vehicle, transmitting the movement data values to the server, and receiving from the server the warning about the vehicle traveling in the wrong direction.

  • Patent number: 9872405
    Abstract: An electronics housing for the accommodation of at least one electronic component in an interior space defined by the electronics housing and at least partly enclosed by an exterior wall of the electronics housing is provided. The electronics housing exhibiting at least one pressure-equalizing element which enables an equalization of pressure between the interior space and an exterior space surrounding the electronics housing. The pressure-equalizing element is constituted by a gas-permeable wall portion of the exterior wall, on which the exterior wall exhibits a pore structure as a result of local foaming of the material from which the exterior wall has been produced.
