Abstract: A method for filtering vehicle-to-X messages, having the following steps: receiving a number of vehicle-to-X messages and adapting a filter parameter for filtering the received vehicle-to-X messages in such a manner that a number of vehicle-to-X messages to be discarded leaves a number of vehicle-to-X messages to be processed from the number of received vehicle-to-X messages. The adaptation is carried out on the basis of a correction value for describing a deviation of the number of vehicle-to-X messages to be processed in a specified duration from a number of vehicle-to-X messages provided for processing in the specified duration. Also disclosed are a corresponding vehicle-to-X communication device and to a computer-readable storage medium.

The first electronic computation device is designed in accordance with a higher safety integrity level than the second electronic computation device, and a comparison device to make a comparison between the hash value for the received vehicle-to-X message and the hash value for the generated vehicle-to-X message. The vehicle-to-X communication apparatus further processes the data from the received vehicle-to-X message depending on a result of the comparison. Also disclosed are a corresponding method and the use of the apparatus in a vehicle or an infrastructure device.

Abstract: A method for reducing processing power of a data processing hardware executing one or more applications is provided. The method includes receiving communication messages and identifying a first application outputting a first message based on at least one communication message. The first application is associated with a first priority value. The method includes determining a group of high-priority applications where each application has a priority value being higher than or equal to the first priority value and determining a group of low-priority applications where each application has a priority value being lower than the first priority value. The method includes discarding one or more communication messages that are not relied on by the group of high-priority applications for a predefined period of time. The method may also include sending, to the group of low-priority applications, instructions causing the one or more applications of the low-priority group to stop executing.

Abstract: The assumption that every participating vehicle control unit (VCU) or engine control unit (ECU) in a V2X network is synchronized to GNSS time or GPS time (or some other time base) is discarded. An error is assumed for every time entry. For all messages received from a dedicated communication node, a time compensation offset is determined.

Abstract: A vehicle diagnostic and communication system and method provides for recognizing a collision event with at least one device associated with a safety system of a vehicle and diagnosing operational capability of vehicle operating systems with an onboard vehicle controller in response to the recognized collision event. The diagnosis provides a determination of a severity of damage to the vehicle operating systems that is used to determine an impact on traffic proximate to the collision and transmit a communication based on the determined impact on traffic to other vehicles and an infrastructure device proximate the collision event.

Abstract: A vehicle diagnostic and communication system includes a controller with computer executable instructions configured to diagnose operational capability of vehicle operating systems in response to a recognized collision event. The controller is further configured to determine a severity of damage to the vehicle operating systems based on the diagnoses and generate a communication signal based on the determined severity of damage to the vehicle for transmission. The system determines which of a plurality of service providers to send the communication signal based on the severity of damage to the vehicle.

Abstract: A method for controlling an automated parking system including determining a position and route of a vehicle for transmitting driving commands for the route to the vehicle, detecting an object within the parking system, determining the position and a movement path of the object, checking whether the route of the vehicle and the movement path of the object overlap, and initiating at least one measure by the parking system to prevent a collision between the vehicle and the object.

Abstract: A vehicle control unit (VCU) or other vehicle device to accept a reduced number of messages from a sender for processing rather than having the sender transmit messages less often when a communication channel is crowded. The overall number of messages that need to be processed after accepting the messages stays the same, but the number of messages accepted per sender per time interval is reduced.

Abstract: The assumption that every participating vehicle control unit (VCU) or engine control unit (ECU) in a V2X network is synchronized to GNSS time or GPS time (or some other time base) is discarded. An error is assumed for every time entry. For all messages received from a dedicated communication node, a time compensation offset is determined.

Abstract: Based upon the current position of a vehicle, a processor determines which V2X communication standard to use. If a change from a current V2X protocol being used to a new protocol (required because of the location of the vehicle) is determined, software for the new protocol is loaded to re-configure the processor or other electronic devices in the VCU or elsewhere in the vehicle.
