A vehicle-to-everything (V2X) communication unit, for wirelessly transmitting and/or receiving V2X signals comprising data in a vehicle, includes a plurality of V2X modules. Each respective V2X module is connected to at least one antenna configured to transmit and/or receive the V2X signals in a transmission and reception area. Each respective V2X module comprises at least a transmitting unit configured to modulate data to be transmitted via the V2X signals, and/or a receiving unit configured to demodulate data received via the V2X signals. Each V2X module includes a data interface configured to transmit the data to be transmitted and/or the data received via the V2X signal and a logic module. The plurality of V2X modules includes at least two spatially separated V2X modules. The logic module is configured to link the at least two V2X modules in such a way that a logical unit is configured.

A control arrangement for adjusting a desired distance between two vehicles includes a distance regulation system having a distance control device configured to adjust a first desired distance between a subject vehicle and a vehicle ahead depending on sensor signals received from a sensor system by requesting a first subject vehicle desired acceleration. The control arrangement further includes a communication system configured to wirelessly send and receive a surroundings data signal. The surroundings data signal contains surroundings information. The control arrangement additionally includes an assistance control device configured to determine a second desired distance between the subject vehicle and the vehicle ahead and a second subject vehicle desired acceleration for adjusting the second desired distance depending on the surroundings information received from the communication system. The distance control system comprises an ACC interface. A first interface signal is transferred via the ACC interface to the distance regulation system.

A method for establishing a wireless data link between at least two vehicles which are connected to one another via a physical data link includes transmitting link parameters of the wireless link via the physical data link connecting the at least two vehicles and establishing the wireless link using the link parameters transmitted via the physical data link connecting the at least two vehicles.

Method for establishing a wireless data link

The invention relates to a method for monitoring the vehicle surroundings (U) of a vehicle combination (), in particular utility vehicle combination (), composed of a traction vehicle () and at least one trailer () using a monitoring system with a camera (), having at least the following steps:&#x2014;defining a monitoring space () within a capture range () of the camera (), wherein the monitoring system monitors only the monitoring space () for critical objects which can give rise to a collision probability, wherein the monitoring space () is defined and oriented in such a way that the vehicle surroundings (U) are located at least partially in the monitoring space (), and at the same time the vehicle combination () is not located in the monitoring space (), wherein for this purpose&#x2014;a variable (&#x3b4;, &#x3c9;) which characterizes the orientation between the traction vehicle () and the trailer () is acquired; and&#x2014;a manipulated variable (&#x3b2;) is determined as a function thereof, with which method the monitoring space () is shifted within the capture range () and therefore adapted dynamically; and&#x2014;detecting whether critical objects are located in the monitoring space (), in order to avoid a collision between an object which presents a risk and is located in the monitored vehicle surroundings (U) and the vehicle combination () in question.
