A method and an apparatus for estimating an expected reception quality in an interval of time for car-to-X communication including a receiving device for acquiring data packets and a memory, wherein the memory stores at least one empirically determined variable for reception patterns of data packets in a first interval of time, which variable indicates or can be used to determine how high the probability is of a data packet or n data packets being successfully received in a subsequent, second interval of time, wherein the apparatus is designed so that the reception pattern is determined for a first interval of time before the interval of time and the associated probability for the interval of time is read from the memory, wherein a warning message is generated and/or a transmission parameter and/or a functionality of a driver assistance function is/are changed on the basis of the probability.

Method and apparatus for estimating an expected reception quality

A diagnostic method for vehicles from a group of vehicles wherein data relating to at least one vehicle from the group of vehicles are acquired from a social medium. Complaints relating to a criticized characteristic of the at least one vehicle are determined depending on the acquired data. Diagnostic information is generated for at least one vehicle depending on the complaints.

Diagnostic procedures and method of collecting vehicles

The invention relates to a method for forwarding information by means of a transmitting and receiving device in a first vehicle, having the following steps of: determining a stop state of the first vehicle, determining a position of the first vehicle, receiving information from a first transmitter in a vehicle and/or an infrastructure unit, forwarding the information from the first transmitter to a receiver in a second vehicle by means of the transmitting and receiving device if the position of the first vehicle is within a predefined area. The invention also relates to a device for carrying out the method.
