A method and a device for detecting collisions for a vehicle. In this context, an at least three-stage method is described. A first collision check, a second collision check, and a third collision check are performed. Surface areas are considered step-by-step along a section of a trajectory of the vehicle. In the individual steps, the surface areas in the individual steps being approximated to the actual swath of the vehicle.

Method and device for detecting collisions for a vehicle

A method for ascertaining an expected contour of a mobile or stationary device for avoiding collisions, using at least one control unit that is internal external to the device includes: obtaining a movement trajectory of the device, which contains probability densities based on state estimation, at least based on expected values and covariances; obtaining a base polyhedron and an approximate contour of the device having a limited number of corners, a confidence interval within which a collision with the static and dynamic surroundings of the device is to be avoided being defined; transforming the base polyhedron to the at least one probability density of the movement trajectory that describes the state estimation; and, for each corner of the transformed base polyhedron, computing a transformed device contour, and ascertaining the expected contour of the device with inclusion of all transformed device contours.

Method and system for ascertaining an expected device contour

A system includes a processor that, for example, by executing a computer program, performs a method for generating parking space for vehicles, the method including ascertaining whether a need exists for parking space for vehicles within a geographical area that includes a roadway, if the need is determined to exist, ascertaining whether a side area of the roadway is usable as parking space, and, responsive to a positive result of the determination, designate the side area as the parking space, and control a signaling device to signal the availability of the side area for vehicle parking.

Generating parking space for vehicles

A method for adapting a driving behavior of a semi, highly or fully automated vehicle and includes the following steps: receiving passenger compartment data; ascertaining a safety state of at least one vehicle occupant which in particular represents an injury probability of the vehicle occupant in the event of an accident, based on the passenger compartment data; and adapting the driving behavior of the vehicle based on the safety state of the at least one vehicle occupant.
