Abstract: An assistant for turning at a junction or a roundabout or for cornering with a vehicle which is a commercial vehicle or a bus, the assistant suggests a suitable time to turn. The assistant detects a curb at least on a right side of the vehicle using at least one sensor, and suggest optically and/or acoustically in the vehicle a time to turn, resulting in a swept path of the vehicle that avoids contact with the curb.

Abstract: An autonomous commercial vehicle transporting oversized loads is controlled based on sensor data determined by environment sensors of the commercial vehicle and/or data of a digital map. Navigable areas including lanes in the direction of and against the direction of travel and hard shoulders are determined in the form of respective polygons, in which the autonomous commercial vehicle may be present. The behavior of the autonomous commercial vehicle is determined depending on the navigable areas, objects identified on the basis of the sensor data, and an intrinsic movement estimation. At least one corridor command is transmitted to a movement planning module, which plans a trajectory and/or a path of the commercial vehicle with avoidance of a collision with identified objects. The planned trajectory and/or the planned path are/is fed to a movement control module, which controls the autonomous commercial vehicle such that it follows the planned trajectory and/or the planned path.

Abstract: A method for safeguarding a self-driving, damaged vehicle includes independently detecting damage of the damaged vehicle by the damaged vehicle and sending information concerning the damage to a central computing unit, connected with the damaged vehicle, of an operator of the damaged vehicle by the damaged vehicle. Information concerning the damage of the vehicle is sent to a superior authority by the central computing unit. A further central computing unit of an operator of a self-driving further vehicle located near the damaged vehicle is informed about the damaged vehicle by the superior authority. When the further vehicle is moving towards the damaged vehicle, the further vehicle is put into a safeguarding mode by the further central computing unit.

Abstract: A lifting system for a semitrailer of an articulated lorry includes a lifting device where the semitrailer is adjustable by the lifting device in relation to a surface of a base element on which the semitrailer is positioned between a coupling position, in which a coupling element of the semitrailer is arranged at a coupling height above the surface of the base element, and a decoupling position, in which the coupling element is arranged at a decoupling height above the surface of the base element. The lifting device is associated with a surface segment of the base element where the surface segment is height-adjustable by the lifting device such that the semitrailer is adjustable between the coupling position and the decoupling position by an adjustment of the surface segment.

Abstract: The invention concerns a parking space recognition system (13) for a motor vehicle (1), with a sensor device (3) that is designed to detect at least one surface (6a, 6b) of at least one object (7a, 7b) in the surroundings of the motor vehicle (1) and extending along a direction of travel (F) of the motor vehicle (1) and with a computing device (8) that is designed to identify a space (9) between two detected surfaces (6a, 6b) extending along the direction of travel (F) as a potential parking space with an associated parking space position, which can be at least one longitudinal parking space (10) or at least one transverse parking spaces (11a, 11b), and with a memory device (12) that is designed to identify the recognized potential parking space as a longitudinal parking space (10) or as a transverse parking space (11a, 11b) or as a potential parking space depending on parking space information stored for the parking space position, in order to increase the accuracy of parking space detection by a motor vehic
