A method for handling a control card, wherein the control card is received by another vehicle. This provides an increased degree of safety in situations to be regulated, as it is possible to compare control cards of different vehicles and coordinate them if necessary.

Method for handling a control card

A method for operating a central server, which enables a central management of control cards containing traffic rules. The invention further includes methods for handling control cards in vehicles, in particular in cooperation with such a central server.

Method for operating a central server and a method for handling a control card

A method for handling a control card, wherein a control card is created in a vehicle and passed on to an external unit such as, for example, another vehicle or a central server. In this way, a comparison of control cards is possible.

A method for determining a number of vehicle-to-X messages to be discarded, wherein a work cycle of a vehicle-to-X communication unit involves vehicle-to-X messages being received, wherein the work cycle involves a number of received vehicle-to-X messages being determined, wherein the work cycle involves an existent computation power being available and wherein the work cycle involves the number of vehicle-to-X messages to be discarded being determined on the basis of the number of received vehicle-to-X messages. The invention additionally relates to a corresponding system and to a use for the system.

Method and system for determining a number of vehicle-to-X messages to be discarded

A method for reducing a total computation capacity that needs to be kept, in which an electronic computation module of a vehicle system keeps the total computation capacity, wherein a multiplicity of software modules are executed by the electronic computation module, wherein the software modules take up computation capacity for data processing processes and for input data checking processes and wherein the input data checking processes are repeated in accordance with clocking. The method is distinguished in that the clocking is adjustable. Furthermore, the invention relates to a vehicle-to-x communication apparatus and to a use of the vehicle-to-x communication apparatus.

An assessment module for assessing data from a digital map for a vehicle. The assessment is made on the basis of a piece of dedicated map quality information and measurement data from an ambient sensor system in the vehicle. The connected driver assistance systems and safety systems in the vehicle use the digital map data on the basis of the assessment.

Verification of digital maps

Disclosed is a method and a circuit configuration as well as a navigation system are disclosed, wherein the extraction and transmission of signals running on a line bus () is carried out without having to sever the bus cable. Furthermore, a sensor () is disclosed, which outputs sensor signals reproducing the line signals and wherein the output sensor signals are amplified by a signal processing unit () and transformed into a defined digital signal shape (). The filtered signals are then transmitted to a display device () or another device via an additional bus in wireless manner or by way of a line. The invention further relates to a tapping device for the wireless tapping of CAN data from a CAN line by the electromagnetic field, without having to sever the CAN lines, having a pivotable top shaped part (), which can be pressed against a bottom part () by way of a pivot mechanism () for the purpose of accommodating CAN cables, and guide grooves (for accommodating the CAN cables (CAN, CAN), with conductor loops, in the closed position of the pivot mechanism, being closed around the CAN cables which are connectable to a signal processing electronics.

Extraction of can bus signals without feedback

A data transfer, power supply and charging apparatus having a data interface transfers both energy to an energy storage device and vehicle- or driver-related data via a charging cable or electric line. The use of a charging cable for transmitting data to and from the vehicle is suitable particularly for electric and hybrid vehicles in the automotive sector. In this way, it is possible to perform updates for vehicle-internal systems and to check these. In addition, the data transfer, power supply and charging apparatus may include a communication unit which also allows data to be received and sent during travel without an electrical connection.

System, device and method for data transfer to a vehicle and for charging said vehicle

A method for transmitting vehicle-related information in and out of a vehicle and an apparatus for carrying out the method are disclosed. The method includes the steps of (i) receiving location information via reception means for position finding, (ii) evaluating vehicle-related information and location information via means for coordinating an interaction between the communication means, the reception means and means for wireless radio networking, (iii) transmitting vehicle-related information and the location information to mobile terminals carried in the vehicle by wireless radio networking comprising one bi-directional communication link, and (iv) indicating the vehicle-related information and location information audibly, visually, haptically, or any combination thereof, within a reproduction unit in the mobile terminals.

Method and apparatus for transmitting vehicle-related information in and out of a vehicle

The present invention relates to an electromechanically operable disc brake for motor vehicles comprising a brake caliper and an actuator arranged at the brake caliper, with two friction linings cooperating with each one lateral surface of a brake disc, with at least one of the friction linings being movable into engagement with the brake disc by way of the actuator, and the actuator having an electric motor that is driven by means of an electronic control and regulation unit. To achieve a compact disc brake, the invention discloses that the control and regulation unit is arranged directly at the actuator . This provision renders it possible to configure the electric connection as a plug coupling, which offers financial and safety advantages.
