A method for distributing navigation map data to a plurality of work machines which are part of a network of work machines and perform work orders in this network, wherein the navigation map data are needed in the work machines to carry out the work orders, and work orders are planned on the basis of navigation map data, includes detecting work orders for work machines, which work orders exist in the network and were planned on the basis of old navigation map data. The method includes checking the work orders which exist in the network in order to determine whether these work orders can be carried out with new navigation map data, and terminating work orders which cannot be carried out with new navigation map data. The new navigation map data is then installed.

A method is described for setting up or updating an environment map and for ascertaining a position within the environment map based on a scan of an environment using electromagnetic radiation, in which environment data is ascertained by scanning the environment with the aid of at least one localization system using electromagnetic radiation, data pertaining to at least one wireless communications unit are collected by the at least one localization system, the ascertained environment data are allocated to at least one position or to at least one section of the environment map, and the collected data of the at least one wireless communications unit are used by an internal control unit or an external control unit of the localization system for plausibilizing the at least one position or the at least one section of the environment map of the ascertained environment data. In addition, a localization system is described.

A method for operating a self-propelled mobile platform includes reducing a speed of the mobile platform as a function of a distance between the mobile platform and obstacles situated along a travel route of the mobile platform. The mobile platform includes at least one first sensor configured to detect obstacles in surroundings of the mobile platform.

A memory protection unit includes at least a first access control unit and a second access control unit programmed for controlling an access to a memory device. Further a method to operate a processing system comprising multiple processing devices and multiple memory protection units associated to the multiple processing devices. The access to the memory by a processing device is approved if first access control unit and second access control unit of the memory protection associated to the processing device approves the access and access is rejected if first access control unit or second access control unit rejects the access. The first access control unit is programmable by the associated processing device alone and the programming of the second access control unit is readable by an additional processing device which is to be used in a system with multiple programming devices, not the associate processing device.
