A method for locating a vehicle situated within a parking area using a plurality of WLAN base stations each including an antenna array, the vehicle including a communication interface for communication with the WLAN base stations via a wireless WLAN communication network. The method includes receiving, via the respective antenna array, a radio signal sent by the communication interface of the vehicle via the wireless communication network; ascertaining a respective angle of incidence of the respective received radio signal relative to a respective normal of the antenna array; ascertaining a signal intensity of the respective received radio signal; and carrying out a triangulation using the ascertained angles of incidence and the ascertained signal intensities in order to locate the vehicle within the parking area. A corresponding system, a parking area, and a computer program are also described.

Method and system for locating a vehicle located within a parking area

A method for safeguarding a movement of a motor vehicle on an inclined ramp. Downhill from the motor vehicle, one or multiple collision object(s) is/are moved into a travel path specified by the ramp, so that in the event of a downhill movement of the motor vehicle on the travel path, a collision of the one or multiple collision object(s) with the motor vehicle reduces a speed of the motor vehicle while it is still on the ramp. Also described are a corresponding device, a parking facility, and a computer program.

Method and device for safeguarding a movement of a motor vehicle on an inclined ramp

A method is described for operating a vehicle, the driverlessly driving vehicle halting in response to an emergency stop signal in the context of driverless driving of the vehicle within a parking facility, the method being free of a step of checking whether halting is necessary. A corresponding apparatus is described for operating a vehicle, and to a vehicle. A method is described for operating a parking facility for vehicles, and to a corresponding parking facility. A computer program is also described.

Method and device for operating a vehicle, and method for operating a parking area

A method for ascertaining data for an autonomous driving operation of a motor vehicle within a parking facility using one or multiple surroundings sensor system(s). The method includes detecting present surroundings of the motor vehicle during a manually guided trip of the motor vehicle within the parking facility with the aid of the surroundings sensor system(s) to ascertain the surroundings data corresponding to the surroundings, and ascertaining the data for an autonomous driving operation of the motor vehicle within the parking facility based on the surroundings data so that the motor vehicle may autonomously drive within the parking facility based on the ascertained data.

Method and system for ascertaining data for an autonomous driving operation of a motor vehicle

A method, which can be performed by a system executing instructions on a computer-readable medium, for generating space to park for a motor vehicle includes determining a need for a parking area in a geographic area that includes a roadway, determining a need for road space for the roadway, determining, based on the determined need for the parking area and the determined need for road space, whether a lateral region of the roadway should be set for use as a parking area, and, in response to a positive result of the determination, setting the lateral region of the roadway for use as the parking area.

Method and system for generating space to park for motor vehicles

A method for monitoring a parking facility for motor vehicles, the parking facility being monitored by way of a monitoring device of a flying drone. A drone and a computer program are also described.
