Abstract: Devices and methods, in particular computer-implemented methods, for the communication of participants in a traffic infrastructure. A state channel, associated with a distributed ledger technology system, to a second participant is set up at a first participant, and a channel, associated with the state channel, to a third participant is set up at the first participant. A first instruction is sent to the third participant via the channel, such that if a second instruction of the third participant is received via the channel, and if the second instruction fulfills a condition that is a function of the first instruction, the first participant and/or the third participant are controlled as a function of the first instruction or as a function of the second instruction.

Abstract: A method for at least partially automated driving of a motor vehicle includes the steps of: determining that a need exists for infrastructure-based, at least partially automated driving of the motor vehicle, and transmitting, via a communication network, a request to transmit a plurality of infrastructure data based on which the motor vehicle is drivable in an at least partially automated manner, in response to determining that a need exists for infrastructure-based, at least partially automated driving of the motor vehicle. Receiving, via the communication network, the infrastructure data in response to transmitting the request. Generating a plurality of control signals for at least partially automated controlling of a lateral and/or a longitudinal operation of the motor vehicle based on the infrastructure data, and outputting the generated control signals.

Abstract: A system for executing functionally equivalent applications. The system includes a cloud system including a plurality of cloud instances, the plurality of cloud instances being set up in each case to execute a functionally equivalent application in each case based on the same input data, the respective execution including a processing of the input data by the respective application in order to output an application result in each case, and a comparison device, which is set up to compare the respective application results in order to ascertain a comparison result and to output the comparison result that has been ascertained. A method for executing functionally equivalent applications, a computer program, and a machine-readable storage medium, are also described.

Abstract: A method for supplying data for an at least partially automated vehicle. The method including: detecting the sensor data of an infrastructure; fusing the sensor data to form an environment model; wireless transmission of the environment model data to the at least partially automated vehicle; and wireless transmission of context data, relating to a location of the at least partially automated vehicle, to the at least partially automated vehicle, it being possible to evaluate the environment model data in a defined manner with the aid of the context data.
