Achim Rettinger

Title: Achim Rettinger: Inventor in Vehicle Trajectory Prediction

Introduction

Achim Rettinger is an inventor based in Trier, Germany, whose patent work focuses on predicting road users’ behavior and supporting the control of an ego vehicle. He works at Robert Bosch and holds 2 patents.

Latest Patents

Rettinger’s listed patents address methods for trajectory prediction and for predicting behavior in traffic situations.

The first patent describes a computer-implemented method that combines trajectory data with map information. It represents road users and their interactions in a graph, then uses that representation to predict a future motion trajectory for at least one road user.

The second patent concerns predicting road users’ behavior from a graph representation of a traffic situation. Nodes represent road users, while edges describe their interactions and associated attributes. The method models how each road user’s state evolves independently and through interactions with others, then computes a property that characterizes the behavior being predicted.

Career Highlights

At Robert Bosch, Rettinger’s patent work addresses challenges in understanding and anticipating traffic behavior. His inventions use graph-based representations to connect road-user trajectories, roadway information, and interactions, with applications to vehicle trajectory prediction and control.

Collaborations

Rettinger’s listed coworkers include Maximilian Zipfl and Felix Hertlein. The patent descriptions reflect work involving traffic data, map representations, and interactions among road users.

Conclusion

Achim Rettinger’s two patents focus on graph-based methods for predicting traffic behavior and future road-user trajectories, contributing to research relevant to vehicle systems at Robert Bosch.
