A method for determining avoidance trajectories for a collision-free avoidance maneuver of transportation vehicles, wherein trajectory data describing a collection of possible driving trajectories is received from at least one trajectory generator for each transportation vehicle in real time, and a respective avoidance trajectory is determined in real time for each transportation vehicle based on the collection of possible driving trajectories for that transportation vehicle. For each transportation vehicle, the driving trajectories are divided into groups, and each group is represented by a single respective group trajectory. In at least one combination operation, each of the group trajectories of each transportation vehicle is selected and a resulting driving maneuver is checked based on the selected group trajectories to determine if the driving maneuver fulfils a predetermined optimization criterion, and the avoidance trajectories are determined based on the group trajectories of a combination operation with a fulfilled optimization criterion.

Transportation vehicle control device and method for determining avoidance trajectories for a collision-free avoidance maneuver of multiple transportation vehicles

A method for automatic determination and/or monitoring of a target trajectory for a vehicle by which a starting point corresponding to the current position of the vehicle is connected to a target point. The method includes determining different trajectories of the vehicle that connect the starting point to the target point, detecting a further target trajectory for each road user, wherein each of the further target trajectories connects the starting point of the respective road user to a target point corresponding to the respective road user, determining the trajectories of the vehicle as collision-free trajectories that do not result in a collision with one of the further road users if the respective road user is moving on the target trajectory, and determining and/or monitoring the target trajectory of the vehicle depending on the collision-free trajectories of the vehicle.

Method and apparatus for determining a desired trajectory for a vehicle

A method for adapting an actual steering wheel angle of a steering wheel and an actual wheel steering angle of a wheel steering system in a motor vehicle after an automated driving maneuver has been executed. The method includes detecting the actual steering wheel angle by a steering wheel angle-detection device and the actual wheel steering angle by a wheel steering angle-detection device, adapting the actual steering wheel angle by a steering wheel-actuation device and/or the actual wheel steering angle by a wheel steering-actuation device based on a transfer strategy within a predefined transfer time. Also disclosed is an associated device.
