Latest Patents

Voge is associated with 1 patent, titled “Device and Method for Generating and Transmitting Control Commands for an Autonomously Driving Motor Vehicle.” The invention describes a system that receives data about a vehicle’s surroundings and status, calculates a trajectory, determines the control commands needed to follow it, and sends those commands to one or more actuators.

The device uses four subsystems arranged in master-and-slave pairs. The first and third subsystems operate as masters, while the second and fourth operate as slaves. The first and second subsystems receive vehicle and surroundings data, and the third and fourth transmit control commands to actuators. The design includes fail-silent functionality in at least the first and third subsystems. If a subsystem fault occurs, the system is intended to generate and transmit at least one command to bring the vehicle to a safe state.

Career Highlights

Voge is associated with Volkswagen AG. His patent reflects work on safety-oriented control architecture for autonomous driving, including fault handling and coordinated command transmission.
