A method for exchanging pieces of maneuver information between vehicles. A parameterizable third-party trajectory planner provided by a third-party vehicle and mapping future pieces of maneuver information of the third-party vehicle are parameterized and executed in an ego vehicle, using at least one time parameter, to obtain at least one future third-party trajectory of the third-party vehicle.

Method and device for exchanging maneuver information between vehicles

A method for vehicle control. The method includes a step of reading in a camera signal, a step of executing a semantic segmentation, and a step of ascertaining a control signal. The camera signal represents an optically detected image of a roadway to be driven by a vehicle. In the step of executing, the semantic segmentation of the image represented by the camera signal is executed, to detect a free area ahead of the vehicle from the image as a drivable road section. In addition, a roadway signal representing the detected drivable road section is provided. In the step of ascertaining, the control signal for activating at least one vehicle component is ascertained, using the roadway signal.

Method and device for vehicle control

A method and a device for providing an operating state of a sensor of a vehicle. The method includes detecting first environment data values using the sensor, the first environment data values representing an environment of the vehicle, receiving second environment data values, which represent the environment of the vehicle, the second environment data values being detected by an infrastructure sensor system, determining the operating state of the sensor as a function of the first and the second environment data values, and providing the operating state of the sensor.

Method and a device for providing an operating state of a sensor of a vehicle

A method and device for operating an automated vehicle. The method includes a step of receiving a position of the automated vehicle, a step of providing a map, as a function of the position, a step of receiving environment data values, which represent an environment of the automated vehicle, as a function of the position, a step of producing an environment model, as a function of the environment, on the basis of the map, and a step of operating the automated vehicle, as a function of the environment model.

Method and device for operating an automated vehicle

A guiding device for at least one vehicle, including a receiving unit of an infrastructure sensor unit for receiving data of a surroundings of the vehicle and for receiving data of a destination of the vehicle; and an ascertainment unit, the ascertainment unit being designed to ascertain a trajectory from the data of the surroundings and the data of the destination and to transmit the data wirelessly to the vehicle.

Guiding device for at least one vehicle

A method for determining an idealized passing maneuver includes receiving first data values that represent a passing maneuver of a first vehicle to pass a second vehicle, requesting and receiving surroundings data values that represent instantaneous and/or future surroundings of the first vehicle and/or of the second vehicle, determining a surroundings model of the first vehicle based on the surroundings data values and on a digital map that represents the instantaneous and/or future surroundings of the first vehicle and/or of the second vehicle, determining an idealized passing maneuver for the first vehicle to carry out the passing maneuver based on the surroundings model, and providing the idealized passing maneuver in the form of second data values for receipt by the first vehicle.

Method and device for determining an idealized passing maneuver

A communication method is provided for transmitting useful data between a first traffic participant, at least one second traffic participant, and a central communication device. It is provided that the first traffic participant provides a data packet and transmits it to the central communication device, the data packet being assigned to a changing key that is transmitted together with the data packet, and that the first traffic participant transmits an identifier together with the key to the second traffic participant, and that the second traffic participant requests from the central communication device, using the key, the data packet assigned thereto, and assigns it to the first traffic participant. Also provided is a communication system.

Communication method for transmitting useful data and corresponding communication system

A control device may assist in parking maneuvers of a vehicle. The control device may include an interface to a sensor unit for detecting a boundary of a parking space in the surroundings of the vehicle. An arithmetic unit may determine a trajectory into a parking position in the parking space. In some embodiments the arithmetic unit is configured to calculate a trajectory into the parking position, taking into account a potential extension of parts of the body of the vehicle beyond the boundary of the parking space. Devices and methods are provided.

Control device for assisting a parking maneuver

A control unit for automatically guiding a vehicle, in particular during a parking procedure, has an interface to a monitoring unit of a brake operating unit of the vehicle to ascertain a braking readiness of the driver in such a way that automatic guiding of the vehicle is interrupted if a braking readiness of a driver is not detected.

Control unit and method for automatically guiding a vehicle

A device for approving automatic guidance of a vehicle, having an interface to a monitoring apparatus for at least partially monitoring a vehicle driver located in the vehicle, having an interface to an apparatus for automatically guiding the vehicle and for ascertaining a travel direction of the vehicle when automatic guidance is to be performed, and having an analysis unit for comparing a field of vision of the driver, which is determined from the monitoring of the driver, to the travel direction of the vehicle during the automatic guidance, automatic guidance only being approved if the travel direction of the vehicle during the automatic guidance is in the field of vision of the driver.
