A wheel information transfer apparatus, including: an information detection apparatus to detect and store wheel-related information; and an information transfer apparatus to transfer the wheel-related information over a transfer medium; in which the information transfer apparatus is configured to transfer at least a first portion of the wheel-related information parallel or quasi-parallel, and in which the information transfer apparatus is configured to transfer the at least first portion of the wheel-related information or a second portion of the wheel-related information serially within the parallel or quasi-parallel data transfer. Also described are a wheel information transfer method and a related vehicle.

Wheel information transfer apparatus, wheel information transfer method and vehicle having wheel information transfer apparatus

A device for carrying out at least one vehicle function, including: a first control unit having a first main unit and a first redundant unit, the first control unit being for controlling a first vehicle function; a second control unit having a second main unit and a second redundant unit, the second control unit being for controlling a second vehicle function; and a first electrical system to connect the first main unit to the second redundant unit and a second electrical system separated from the first electrical system, which for connecting the second main unit to the first redundant unit, the second main unit being for controlling the first redundant unit if the first electrical system fails and/or the first main unit being for controlling the second redundant unit if the second electrical system fails. Also described are a related method, control apparatus, and computer readable medium.

A device for decoupling and/or protecting against compensation currents when at least one electric actuator is used jointly by a plurality of independently voltage-supplied control unit devices in redundant systems for autonomous driving. The electric actuator has, in each case, a common connection, via which the electric actuator can be coupled and switched to a common connection of other electrical actuators, and has at least one dedicated connection via which the at least one electric actuator can be individually supplied with current. A number of switching devices corresponding to the common connection and the number of dedicated connections of all the electric actuators is arranged to apply or not apply a switched current in the at least one electric actuator. Provided is at least one current flow blocking device configured to prevent an unwanted current flow to a non-active electronic control unit of the first and second control unit devices.

Device for decoupling and protection from compensation currents in a redundant system for autonomous driving

A measuring system for detecting a physical parameter, includes a measuring sensor for detecting the physical parameter, which sensor has a first, second and at least one third terminal. The measuring system also includes a first power supply unit for outputting electrical energy to the measuring sensor with a first voltage with respect to a first ground potential via the first and the second terminal, and a second power supply unit for outputting electrical energy to the measuring sensor with a second voltage with respect to a second ground potential via the third and the second terminal or a fourth terminal. The first ground potential can differ from the second ground potential at least temporarily. The first power supply unit includes an additional voltage source via which the second terminal is electrically connected to the first ground potential.
