A method for providing data for a first trajectory and a second trajectory where trajectory data relating to the first and second trajectories are captured. Trajectory database data are generated for the first and second trajectories based on the captured trajectory data, and the trajectory database data are stored in a non-volatile way. A trajectory comparison of the first and second trajectories is carried out based on the captured trajectory data, and at least one common section is determined during the trajectory comparison based on the first and second trajectories. The common section is stored as a common data structure for the first and second trajectories. Also disclosed is a system for providing data for a first trajectory and a second trajectory having a trajectory capture unit, a computing unit, and a memory unit.

Method and system for providing data for a first and second trajectory

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 an apparatus for transitioning a motor vehicle from a manual operating mode to an automated or assisting operating mode for driving along a saved trajectory including a memory, in which the trajectory and a tolerance region of the trajectory are saved; a mechanism for ascertaining the location of the motor vehicle relative to the saved trajectory; and a control unit, wherein the control unit is configured so that, if a predetermined criterion is met, a transition trajectory from a current instantaneous position to the saved trajectory is calculated and a steering torque is generated that steers the motor vehicle in the direction of the calculated transition trajectory, wherein the at least one criterion is a distance threshold value with respect to the saved trajectory, wherein the distance threshold value is selected so it is outside the tolerance region.
