A method for providing operating data for an at least semiautomated vehicle. The method includes: sensorially detecting surroundings data with the aid of a surroundings sensor system of the vehicle; conveying the sensorially detected surroundings data to a cloud and conveying a request to the cloud for localization data; receiving the localization data from the cloud; and ascertaining the operating data for use in a cooperative driving maneuver of the vehicle with at least one further road user from the localization data received from the cloud and from the sensorially detected surroundings data; and initiating the cooperative driving maneuver using the ascertained operating data.

A method and a device for determining a highly precise position of a vehicle. The method includes a step of sensing environment data values, which represent an environment of the vehicle, the environment encompassing multiple environment features which have at least one regular structure, and the environment data values at least encompassing the at least one regular structure; a step of carrying out a comparison of the environment data values with a map; a step of determining the highly precise position of the vehicle as a function of the comparison; and a step of supplying a signal on the basis of the highly precise position.

A method is described for verifying a digital map of a higher-level automated vehicle (HAV), in particular a highly automated vehicle, including the steps: S1 providing a digital map, preferably a highly accurate digital map: S2 determining an instantaneous reference position and localizing the reference position in the digital map; S3 establishing at least one actual feature property of a feature in the surroundings of the reference position, the establishment being carried out with the aid of at least one information source; S4 comparing the actual feature property to a setpoint feature property of the feature and ascertaining at least one difference value as the result of the comparison. A corresponding device and a computer program are also described.

In a method for operating a vehicle, a planning map and a localization map are provided, the vehicle is localized on the localization map, a map corridor indicated in the planning map is selected based on the localization, a sensor corridor is ascertained using a sensor unit of the vehicle, and the map corridor is compared to the sensor corridor. Using a specified threshold value for a deviation between the map corridor and the sensor corridor, it is decided whether the map corridor and the sensor corridor are identical. The map corridor is utilized for operating the vehicle if the map corridor and the sensor corridor are identical, and the sensor corridor is utilized for operating the vehicle if the map corridor and the sensor corridor are not identical.

A method for ascertaining features in an environment of at least one mobile unit for implementation of a localization and/or mapping by a control unit. In the course of the method, sensor measurement data of the environment are received, the sensor measurement data received are transformed by an alignment algorithm into a cost function and a cost map is generated with the aid of the cost function, a convergence map is generated based on the alignment algorithm. At least one feature is extracted from the cost map and/or the convergence map and stored, the at least one feature being provided in order to optimize a localization and/or mapping. A control unit, a computer program, and a machine-readable storage medium are also described.

A method and device for determining a first highly precise position of a vehicle. The method includes acquiring surrounding-area data values using at least one radar sensor of the vehicle, the surrounding-area data values representing a surrounding area of the vehicle; and determining a rough position of the vehicle as a function of the acquired surrounding area data values. In addition, the method includes determining surrounding-area feature data values as a function of the determined rough position of the vehicle, the surrounding-area feature data values representing at least one surrounding-area feature and a second highly precise position of the at least one surrounding-area feature; and determining the first highly precise position of the vehicle as a function of the at least one surrounding-area feature, according to predefined localization criteria, the first highly precise position of the vehicle being more precise than the rough position of the vehicle.

A method and a corresponding system for localizing a vehicle using a digital map are described. In accordance with the method, the digital map assigns to the features one or a plurality of predetermined attributes, which are provided for characterizing possibly occurring actual changes in the features comparison to the digital map existing at the moment. On the basis of the assigned attributes, probabilities relative to the changes are also determined, and the vehicle is localized in consideration of the determined probabilities.

A method for predicting a construction-related driving-route change of a driving route for a vehicle includes at least a step of reading in and a step of detecting. In the step of reading in, at least one image signal is read in, which represents an image, recorded by the vehicle, of a construction-site parameter in the environment of the driving route. In the step of detecting, the impending driving-route change is detected using the image signal.
