A method for calibrating a sensor for a driver assistance system of a vehicle. The method includes a step of outputting of a calibration signal by the sensor of the vehicle in the stationary operating state when a reference object has been placed in a position in front of the vehicle, in the step of outputting, a reference calibration value being stored, which corresponds to a calibrated state of the sensor. The method further includes a step of executing a calibration of the sensor, and/or of a further sensor in the vehicle in the stationary operating state, the calibration of the sensor and/or of a further sensor taking place using a knowledge of the position of the reference object and of the reference calibration value.

A system for confirming the identity of a vehicle. The device includes: a vehicle control unit in the vehicle to be identified; a vehicle identification device; an external service device designed to interact with the vehicle; a vehicle sensor in the vehicle; and an external sensor. The vehicle identification device establishes a data connection with the vehicle control unit and triggers a physical interaction between the vehicle control unit and the external service device. The vehicle sensor detects the physical interaction and transmits a corresponding vehicle detection value to the vehicle identification device. The external sensor detects the physical interaction and transmits a corresponding external detection value to the vehicle identification device; and the vehicle identification device compares the vehicle detection value and the external detection value with one another and confirms the identity of the vehicle if the two detection values coincide with one another within a predefined tolerance.

The present invention relates to a method for minimizing cell aging of a battery () and/or a battery () comprising an apparatus for minimizing cell aging of the battery (). For this the following is performed: detection of battery parameters which describe the present state of the battery (); checking, on the basis of a preset aging model and the battery parameters, whether the state of the battery () is an aging state in which the cell aging of the battery () is less pronounced in the case of cyclic charging or discharging than in a quiescent state in which there is no charging or discharging of the battery (); and cyclic partial discharging and partial charging of the battery () if the battery () is in such an aging state. The method according to the invention and/or the battery () according to the invention are characterized by reduced cell aging. This means that such a battery () and/or a battery () to which the method is applied has an extended life. This results in particular in cost advantages, ecological advantages and improved user friendliness.

A method and a control device for triggering passenger protection devices for a vehicle are provided, a rollover event causing the triggering of the passenger protection devices. The rollover event is detected as a function of kinematic and rotation variables, an adhesion, and a static stability factor. A state of rotation is ascertained via a rotation rate and a rotation angle. A state of adhesion is ascertained from a vehicle transverse acceleration and a vehicle vertical acceleration. The rollover event is detected via the state of adhesion and the state of rotation, the adhesion being much greater than the static stability factor.
