A system for generating at least a second trajectory for a first route section of a road comprises a first interface for receiving first data representing at least a first trajectory. The first data were recorded during travel on the first route section by at least one vehicle controlled by a human driver. The first interface is additionally configured to receive second data representing ambient conditions at the time of recording of the first trajectory, and to receive third data representing vehicle-related features present during the recording of the first trajectory. The system additionally comprises a first data processing module that performs clustering of multiple first trajectories based on associated second data and/or third data, a database for retrievably storing the results of the clustering, and a second interface for receiving a request for the transmission of a second trajectory and for corresponding transmission of the requested second trajectory.

System and method for analyzing driving trajectories for a route section

A system for generating map information for one or more road sections of a digital road map comprises an interface for receiving data records for the one or more road sections. The data records describe properties of surfaces outside the immediate road area. The system further comprises a first module for evaluating the received data records in order to identify first surfaces outside the immediate road area that are able to be driven on by a vehicle after leaving the road and on which the vehicle can be brought to a standstill after leaving the road, a second module for generating a description of the first surfaces in a format suitable for digital road maps, and a third module for retrievably providing the description of the first surfaces in one or more formats suitable for digital road maps.

Method and system for generating map information for emergency surfaces

The invention relates to a method for operating an assistance system of a motor vehicle. An image is detected by means of a camera of the assistance system and a traffic sign is determined within the detected image. An alignment of the determined traffic sign is determined with respect to the motor vehicle, and a signal device of the assistance system is triggered by the alignment.

Method for operating an assistance system of a motor vehicle and assistance system

In a method for detecting light sources operated in pulsed mode using a camera, the camera records a series of images, and the time interval between two successive recordings of individual images is varied while the series of images is recorded.

Method for detecting light sources operated in pulsed mode

The invention relates to a method and a device for recognizing a road sign (Hz, Zz) by means of a camera from a traveling vehicle. The method has the following steps:

Method and apparatus for identifying road signs

A method combines a road sign recognition system and a lane detection system of a motor vehicle. The road sign recognition system generates road sign information from sensor data of a camera-based or video-based sensor system and the lane detection system generates lane course information from the sensor data. Meaning-indicating data for road signs are generated from the lane course information, and are used to check the plausibility of and/or to interpret the road sign information. Data indicating the course of the lane are generated from the road sign information, and are used to check the plausibility of and/or to interpret the lane course information.

Method for combining a road sign recognition system and a lane detection system of a motor vehicle

To support a driver in guiding a road vehicle, the lane markings of the road, traffic signs and/or vehicle license plates are detected by an environment sensor system, which produces corresponding image data, which is evaluated by an image evaluation system by comparison to stored country-specific data. From that evaluation, at least one country estimation signal is generated in an image processor, and then a country signal indicating the current location of the vehicle is generated from the at least one country estimation signal by a microprocessor. The country signal correspondingly activates a driver information device outputting country-specific information for guidance of the vehicle and/or the country signal is fed to a driver assistance system that supports the guidance of the vehicle.
