  • Patent number: 11881100
    Abstract: Technologies and techniques for determining a cluster-based stopping point for a motor vehicle for a predefined reason for stopping in a lane of a road. The individual stopping points of a plurality of vehicles may be determined for the reason for stopping in the lane, wherein the vehicles are controlled by individual drivers. A distribution of the individual stopping points in the lane at least in the direction of travel of the vehicles may be determined. The maximum of the distribution may be determined and stored as a cluster-based stopping point. The cluster-based stopping point determined in this way may be applied to autonomous driving technologies.

  • Patent number: 11745739
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for supporting a lane changing procedure for a vehicle with a cruise control apparatus, wherein the cruise control apparatus adjusts a speed of the vehicle to a target speed, comprising the following steps: receiving environmental data on an environment of the vehicle using an input apparatus, wherein the environmental data at least comprise information on other vehicles in a target lane, determining a current traffic density and a current flow speed in the target lane based on the environmental data using an evaluation apparatus, adapting the target speed based on the determined current traffic density and the current flow speed by using the evaluation apparatus, forwarding the adapted target speed to the cruise control apparatus. The invention further relates to an associated device.

  • Patent number: 11697430
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for providing a route stipulation for a route system of a vehicle, comprising the following steps: providing a plurality of detected trajectories of further vehicles in a route section to be used, ascertaining a trajectory stipulation from the detected trajectories, ascertaining a deviation zone from the detected trajectories, wherein the deviation zone is determined on the basis of a deviation of at least individual detected trajectories from the trajectory stipulation, determining the route stipulation at least on the basis of the trajectory stipulation and the deviation zone.

  • Patent number: 11460860
    Abstract: Technologies and techniques for producing swarm trajectories for a specified lane of a roadway section, wherein a plurality of vehicles driving in the specified lane transmits the respective driving trajectories of the vehicles to a back-end computer, which determines a swarm trajectory for the specified lane from the transmitted trajectories. The vehicles determine specified constraints during driving in the lane, and the determined constraints are transmitted to the back-end computer together with the trajectory in question. The back-end computer determines at least one swarm trajectory for the specified lane as a function of at least one constraint from the transmitted trajectories and the constraints.

  • Patent number: 11370300
    Abstract: A method for adjusting the operation of a transportation vehicle control system which takes place via one or several operating menus of a user interface depicted on a display unit. Statistics are compiled of menu settings which the user has made for the transportation vehicle control system at least in a certain period of time. The statistics are stored in a memory unit of the transportation vehicle and are transferred to a management unit for evaluation. A software update is created for a program of the transportation vehicle control system customized to the needs of the driver and is transmitted to and installed in the transportation vehicle.

  • Patent number: 11118933
    Abstract: A method for providing an automation function for a transportation vehicle, wherein environment data are detected. Based on the detected environment data, the automation function is activated and a quality measure is determined. A quality level on a multi-level scale is determined based on the quality measure, and a graphical output is generated and output. The output includes a quality display element that is formed based on the quality measure. Also disclosed is a system for providing an automation function for a transportation vehicle including a detection unit to detect environment data, an evaluation unit to activate the automation function and to determine a quality measure based on the detected environment data, and a control unit to generate a graphical output and to output the graphical output by a display unit. The output includes a quality display element formed based on the quality measure.
