A method for operating a management program that is provided to manage at least one intervention from at least one application program in a motor vehicle into at least one component of the motor vehicle. When establishing the extent of the at least one intervention, information being made available from outside of the vehicle is taken into account.

Method for operating a management program

A method for providing a function by a group of computing units in which computation instances are executed, each computation instance implementing the function using at least one algorithm and being set up to determine at least one result in response to a call of the function. The method includes: determining an integrity level for each of the computation instances; receiving a function request from a subscriber, the function request including a quality requirement that includes an integrity requirement; selecting a plurality of the computation instances corresponding to the quality requirement, so that the integrity level of the selected computation instances corresponds to the integrity requirement; calling the function in the selected computation instances corresponding to the function request in order to determine a plurality of results; determining a response based on the results, taking into account the quality requirement; and sending the response to the subscriber.

Method for the provision of a function by a group of computing units

A method for controlling a robotic device. In the method, for a version of a control software which is not the initial version of the control software for which the test values delivered by the tests at least partially do not fall within predefined ranges, it is checked whether that version of the control software fulfills safety criteria that have been created for a previous version (and are fulfilled by that version) for which the test values delivered by the tests at least partially do not fall within the predefined ranges, but was safe. If this is the case, the robotic device is controlled with that version of the control software.

Method for controlling a robotic device

A method for providing a function via a network of processing units using multiple computing instances. Each computing instance implements the function and is configured, when it is executed, to determine at least one result in response to a call-up of the function. The method includes validating the computing instances, each being checked as to whether the computing instance corresponds to a respective predetermined state; determining a respective level of reliability for each of the processing units; starting execution of successfully validated computing instances in the processing units, which have a level of reliability that is equal/greater than a predetermined minimum level of reliability; receiving a function request from a user; calling up the function in at least a portion of the executed computing instances corresponding to the function request, in order to determine multiple results; determining a response based on the results; and sending the response to the user.

Method for providing a function via a network of processing units

A method for testing a, in particular safety-relevant, technical system, in particular encompassing software. The system is represented by a model encompassing at least two or more components. An assumption of a respective component regarding the safety-relevant system, and a guarantee of a respective component to the safety-relevant technical system, are specified by a safety contract. Executable program code is generated based on at least one assumption and based on at least one guarantee. The safety-relevant technical system is tested by executing the program code.

Method and computer program for testing a technical system

A bus system, a subscriber station, and a method for configuring a static bus system for a dynamic communication are provided. The bus system has at least two subscriber stations, a communications link for connecting the subscriber stations to each other, and at least one device for the dynamic communication between the subscriber stations of the bus system; the subscriber stations and the communications link are developed for the static communication, which is directed to messages to be transmitted on the bus system that are known when the bus system is made available and are configured according to specified transmitters and receivers, and the dynamic communication is directed to messages to be transmitted on the bus system that have become known only after the subscriber stations and the communications link have been made available and are configured according to specified transmitters and receivers.

Bus system, subscriber station therefor, and method for configuring a static bus system for a dynamic communication

A method for detecting data of a vehicle operated at least partially in an automated manner, including at least one sensor, in particular, a surroundings sensor, in particular, a video sensor, a radar sensor, a LIDAR sensor, an ultrasonic sensor, an infrared sensor, and/or a GNSS sensor, in particular, for receiving a GPS signal, a GLONASS signal or a Galileo signal, and/or a vehicle sensor, in particular, for engine control, for activating occupant protection means, for activating assistance functions and/or convenience functions, in particular, an acceleration sensor, a rotation rate sensor, a pressure sensor, and at least one memory, in particular, a ring memory, including detecting data of the at least one sensor; saving the data in the memory, in particular, in the ring memory; detecting an event; initially storing the content of the memory, in particular, of the ring memory, at the point in time of the detected event.

Method for detecting data, method for updating a scenario catalog, a device, a computer program and a machine-readable memory medium

A method for the coexistence of software having different safety levels in a multicore processor which has at least two processor cores (). A memory range () is associated with each processor core () and a plurality of software (SW, SW) is processed on one of the processor cores () having a predefined safety level. The plurality of software (SW, SW) is processed having a predefined safety level only on the processor core () with which the same safety level is associated, in which during the processing of the plurality of software (SW, SW), the processor core () accesses only the protected memory range () which is permanently associated with this processor core ().

Method for the coexistence of software having different safety levels in a multicore processor system

A coupling device for coupling a software component, which transmits a setting command for setting an actuator on a control system of a motor vehicle, to the control system, the coupling device including a monitoring unit, which is designed to carry out an assessment for each setting command as to whether its implementation will transfer the motor vehicle into a dangerous state, the coupling device being further designed to transmit, as a function of this assessment, a monitored setting command corresponding to the setting command to an implementation unit, the implementation unit being designed to control the actuator.

Device for the reliable integration of a software component into a motor vehicle

A communication module for controlling a motor vehicle, which is configured for receiving vehicle-independent commands and converting these received commands into a target trajectory of the motor vehicle, and transmitting this target trajectory to an implementation module which is configured for associating a sequence of control commands for components of the motor vehicle with this transmitted target trajectory.
