A method for operating at least one direction indicator of a motor vehicle, wherein, as of an actuation time, the direction indicator outputs a light signal comprising a periodic repetition of alternately successive on-phases and off-phases. A discrepancy of a starting phase angle of the light signal with respect to a predefined reference signal is determined at the actuation time and is compared with a predefined target phase angle assigned to the direction indicator. When there is a phase offset between the starting phase angle and the target phase angle—at least two of the on-phases and/or the off-phases of the light signal are extended or shortened by a different time difference value in each case after the actuation time such that the phase angle of the light signal with respect to the reference signal then corresponds to the predefined target phase angle, and/or—the light signal is started with a first off-phase () at the actuation time. The duration of the first off-phase corresponds to a time offset corresponding to the phase offset between the starting phase angle and the predefined target phase angle, with the result that an on-phase of the light signal following the first off-phase is at the target phase angle with respect to the reference signal.

Method for operating at least one direction indicator of a motor vehicle, and motor vehicle

A method for operating a motor vehicle, in particular a passenger car, wherein the motor vehicle has a communication apparatus for receiving traffic light information transmitted from a traffic light and relating to the traffic light control of the traffic light, and a vehicle light arrangement having at least one vehicle light and assigned to the rear or the front or the sides of the vehicle. Each vehicle light is used to implement an operating light function relating to the operation of the motor vehicle. The at least one piece of the traffic light information and/or derived information that is derived therefrom and is independent of the motor vehicle is displayed to another road user by means of the vehicle light arrangement. The at least an activation and/or deactivation of the display of the at least one piece of information only takes place together with a change with respect to at least one of the at least one operating light function and/or when the motor vehicle is stationary.

Method for operating a motor vehicle, and motor vehicle

A method for operating a motor vehicle, wherein the motor vehicle is configured to execute a driving maneuver that can be executed without a driver, wherein, before the driving maneuver is executed by a computing device of the motor vehicle, a check is made to determine that at least one admissibility requirement for the execution of the driving maneuver is met. The execution of an operator action required to start the execution of the driving maneuver, executed by a user of the motor vehicle positioned outside the motor vehicle, is detected, or the absence thereof up to the present time is detected. The execution of the operator action can be detected by a monitoring device connected to the computing device, and/or based on a transmission of data describing the execution of the operator action to a communication device of the motor vehicle connected to the computing device. Depending on whether the at least one admissibility requirement is met and depending on whether or not the at least one operator action is executed, the computing device determines a state from a group of possible states. A signaling device of the motor vehicle is actuated to generate a signal assigned to the determined state from a group of distinguishable signals that can be perceived outside the motor vehicle and that are each assigned to one of the possible states.

The present disclosure relates to a method for operating an assistance system of a motor vehicle, wherein the assistance system has a projector. A message relating to a wrong-way driver is received, and a position of the wrong-way driver transmitted with the message is compared with a current position. Depending on the comparison, a recommendation for adapting a driving parameter is projected into an area in front of the motor vehicle for the driver by means of the projector. The present disclosure also relates to an assistance system of a motor vehicle and to a motor vehicle.

Method for operating an assistance system of a motor vehicle

The present disclosure relates to an operating system for a machine of a food industry. The operating system includes eyeglasses for a user of the operating system and a transceiver for exchanging data between the operating system and the machine. The eyeglasses include a display system configured to display a control element and information of a human machine interface (HMI). Furthermore, the operating system includes at least one input module which receives user input from the user with respect to the control element. The operating system additionally includes a processing module. The processing module converts the received user input into an input signal for controlling at least one of the machine or the HMI.

Operating system for a machine of the food industry

A method is provided for assisting a driver of a motor vehicle in a traffic situation with regard to objects relevant to the traffic situation. The motor vehicle has at least one environment sensor directed towards the forefield of the motor vehicle, at least one driver sensor designed to detect the line of sight and fixation of the driver's eyes, and at least one headlight having a controllably variable spatial illumination pattern. The method includes detecting, classifying, and locating objects in the forefield of the motor vehicle to determine a first object list having the object data associated with the detected objects. The method also includes determining objects, which were detected and not detected by the driver, in order to generate a second object list of undetected objects. The method also includes illuminating the at least one illuminated object in a targeted manner using the at least one headlight to notify the driver about the illuminated object.
