A method for processing data for a driving function of a vehicle is described, a predefined quantity of computation units being provided; the computation units supplying data, in particular redundant data, to a decision unit; the decision unit deciding, based on a comparison of the data delivered by the computation units, whether the data are correct; a synchronization unit being provided; the synchronization unit synchronizing the computation units in such a way that the computation units deliver the data to the decision unit in a specified time period; and the synchronization unit informing the decision unit as to when the data are transmitted by the computation units, so that the decision unit can specify which data of the computation units are used for a check of the data.

Method for processing data for a driving function of a vehicle

An apparatus for operating a vehicle, including a control device that is configured to guide the vehicle automatically; and a monitoring device that is configured to monitor the control device for a fault during automatic guidance of the vehicle by the control device, and upon recognition of a fault to take over automated guidance of the vehicle from the control device. A corresponding method and a computer program are also described.

Device and method for operating a vehicle

A method for monitoring a system of a vehicle which provides an at least partially automated driving function, including the following steps: checking a setpoint driving state of the vehicle, predefined by the system, for plausibility, controlling the vehicle as a function of the predefined setpoint driving state in order to reach the predefined setpoint driving state when a result of the check is that the predefined setpoint driving state is plausible, or controlling the vehicle as a function of an emergency setpoint driving state in order to reach the emergency setpoint driving state when a result of the check is that the predefined setpoint driving state is implausible. Moreover, a corresponding device, a corresponding monitoring system, and a corresponding computer program are described.

A method for operating a vehicle includes: ascertaining a danger measure of a possible stop position for a safe parking of the vehicle; comparing the ascertained danger measure to a predetermined danger measure threshold value; and guiding the vehicle to the possible stop position in order to safely park the vehicle in the possible stop position only if the ascertained danger measure is less than or equal to the predetermined danger measure threshold value.

Method and device for operating a vehicle

A driver assistance system and a method for storing additional information for a road map for a driver assistance system are provided, the supplementary information concerning location- and/or time-specific compliance with traffic rules being stored. The supplementary information is taken into account by the driver assistance system.

Driver assistance system including additional information in connection with a road map

A system with a first computer unit and with a second computer unit, wherein the first computer unit comprises a first interface to enable connection to at least one sensor and to at least one actuator, wherein the second computer unit comprises a second interface to enable connection to at least one sensor and to at least one actuator, wherein the first and the second computer units can be connected to each other by means of a further interface, wherein the actuator comprises an interface, wherein depending on the first or on the second operating state the interface determines whether a control command for a driving function is adopted by the first or the second computer unit, so that in the first operating state only the first computer unit can activate the actuator and in a second operating state only the second computer unit can activate the actuator.

Fail-safe EE architecture for automated driving

A method for highlighting an expected movement path of a vehicle, the method including a step of determining a traffic situation using an item of information concerning a surrounding environment of the vehicle. In addition, the method includes a step of determining the expected movement path based on the traffic situation. In addition, the method includes a step of providing a control signal for controlling a roadway marking device using the movement path in order to highlight the expected movement path.
