The invention relates to a method for supporting an advanced driver assistance system in a motor vehicle, comprising the following steps: providing a map, wherein categorized objects are stored in associated positions in the map, capturing environment data using at least one environment sensor system of the advanced driver assistance system, analyzing the captured environment data using an analysis apparatus of the advanced driver assistance system, wherein the captured environment data are analyzed for object recognition according to the categorized objects stored in the map. Furthermore, the invention relates to an associated device.

Method and device for supporting an advanced driver assistance system in a motor vehicle

A method for operating a transportation vehicle, in particular, for driving the transportation vehicle into a predefined parking space, wherein a first trajectory for automated travel of the transportation vehicle into the predefined parking space is stored in a vehicle-side memory device, which trajectory has been detected during manual travel of the transportation vehicle into the predefined parking space and the first trajectory is assigned tolerance values for a deviation from the first trajectory, which is the maximum deviation by which the transportation vehicle deviates from the first trajectory during automated travel into the predefined parking space, wherein, in the case of at least one further instance of manual travel of the transportation vehicle into the predefined parking space, the further trajectory which is travelled along is detected automatically and the first trajectory and the further trajectory are compared with one another.

Method for operating a transportation vehicle and a control unit for carrying out the method

A method for creating or augmenting a map for a motor vehicle, wherein the motor vehicle establishes its location in a surrounding environment by comparing environment data acquired by at least one sensor with map data stored in the map. The method provides a base map of a surrounding environment of the motor vehicle; provides at least one base segment, wherein the at least one base segment has at least one characteristic feature; and creates or augments the map by generating map data, wherein the map data is generated by a map creation unit by assigning the at least one provided base segment to an associated position in the provided base map. Also disclosed is a corresponding device.

Method and apparatus for creating or supplementing a map for a motor vehicle

A method for determining a location of a motor vehicle, wherein a respective rotational position signal is received from a respective wheel sensor of at least one wheel, and a steering angle signal is received from a steering angle sensor of a steering device, and a wheel-based location estimation is determined, the respective rotational position signal and geometric data of the at least one wheel. A respective relative location of the motor vehicle with respect to at least one object arranged in the surroundings is detected, and a respective relative change in location with respect to the at least one object is determined during a movement of the motor vehicle, and a surroundings-based location estimation is determined, and a combined location estimation of the location is determined from the wheel-based and the surroundings-based location estimation.

Odometry method for determining a position of a motor vehicle, control device and motor vehicle

A method and a system for processing multimodal input signals, wherein the system includes a merging unit which receives instruction messages from a sensor data evaluation device, which messages each indicate an instruction which can be executed by an application which can be coupled to the merging unit. For at least two of the instruction messages, the merging unit respectively generates a candidate object for the instruction message, the candidate object respectively indicating the instruction and respectively including a validity time specification of the candidate object. The merging unit also merges two of the candidate objects if the validity time specifications of these candidate objects indicate overlapping validity times and to forward an instruction to the application, which instruction is indicated by a candidate object which results from the merging operation.
