In order to control at least partially automated vehicles in a road danger zone, in particular road junctions in road traffic, in such a way that the vehicles can pass through the road danger zone in flowing traffic without stop/start interruptions, such as those caused e.g. by signalling equipment, traffic lights, the following proposes the following steps: a) each vehicle of the vehicles, on approaching the road danger zone, surrender the power to control the dynamic driving tasks of the vehicle in order to pass through said zone, b) when the vehicles have surrendered vehicle control power, a central control entity generates a digital road danger zone twin, and, as a result of the vehicles having surrendered vehicle control power, vehicle movements of the vehicle are automatically and dynamically controlled in a vehicle-coordinated and collision-free manner in order to pass through the road danger zone.

Method, computer program product, central control unit and control system for controlling at least partly automated vehicles in a roadway danger zone, in particular intersections of roadways in road traffic

A monitoring production of a technical apparatus in a secure and reliable manner is provided. This monitoring is achieved using encapsulation of a first distributed ledger into a second distributed ledger.

Hierarchical distributed ledger

A method for operating at least two data processing units with high availability, in particular in a vehicle, is provided. A first data processing unit and a second data processing unit can each provide the same function to an extent of at least 60 percent or at least 90 percent. The second data processing unit removes automatically at least one entry for a process to be executed from a memory unit or automatically places itself into a standby mode.

Method for operating at least two data processing units with high availability, in particular in a vehicle, and device for operating a machine

According to a current user location, at least one favorable user location in the vicinity of a respective current user location for a mobile terminal is, as a suggestion for changing location, determined from communications requests for at least one respective application and from available network services in the vicinity of the current user location by virtue of the fact that, in favorable locations, network services can be more efficiently and/or economically used.

Method and arrangement for determining at least one suggestion for a change of location for a user of a mobile terminal

An existing logical data link between a first subscriber terminal connected to a subscriber line of a telecommunications network and a switching center of the telecommunications network is transferred from a first subscriber terminal to a second subscriber terminal which is connected to the subscriber line of the first subscriber terminal or to another subscriber line of the second telecommunications network. The second subscriber terminal receives a message sent from the first subscriber terminal concerning the communication state of the existing logical data link and takes over this data link in the reported communication state, adapting its own state.

System and method for the transfer of an existing logical data link

Optimum use is made of a currently available data connection capacity for data signal connections between data terminals, which are connected to a circuit-switched switching center, and/or between these data terminals and a data network, in particular the Internet data network, which is connected to the switching center. For the purpose of making optimum use of the currently available transmission capacity for traffic loads on the switching center, additional transmission capacity to that which is available for normal connections is provided below a first threshold V . If the traffic load exceeds the first threshold V , the provision of additional transmission capacity for new data signal connections stops. If the traffic load undershoots a second threshold V , which may be the same as the first threshold V , additional transmission capacity for new data signal connections is provided again. If the traffic load exceeds a third threshold V , which is above, between or below the first and second thresholds V , V , then, in addition to the action when the first threshold V is exceeded, the additional transmission capacity is removed from at least some existing connections.
