A method for determining a position of a motor vehicle that has a chassis and a driver's cab, which is spring-mounted relative to the chassis includes detecting the position of the motor vehicle using a satellite-based navigation device arranged on the driver's cab. The method further includes correcting the detected position as a function of a correction value representing a relative motion between the driver's cab and the chassis in order to determine the position.

Method, electronic control device and system for position determination

A device for braking a vehicle includes an actuator configured to control a brake of the vehicle for braking the vehicle. The device further includes a first battery configured to be electrically connected to the actuator via a first switching device and to supply energy to the actuator. The device further includes a second battery configured to be electrically connected to the actuator via a second switching device and to supply energy to the actuator. The device further includes a controller configured to detect a state of the energy supplied to the actuator by the first battery and switch the second switching device to electrically connect the second battery to the actuator instead of the first battery in order to supply energy to the actuator when the state indicates that a need exists.

Device and method for braking and stopping a vehicle in an emergency

A method for supplying electrical power to a device, including: supplying power to the device from a first electrical power supply unit via a switch mechanism in a particular (or preferred) position; and supplying power to the device from a second electrical power supply unit through a defined switching over of the switch mechanism to a secondary position.

In a communications assembly having multiple users, one user is designated as a master and additional users are designated as peripheral modules, at least two of the peripheral modules as well as at least two interface modules are integrated into a shared physical implementation unit, and at least one interface module, which is designated as a slave, is unambiguously assigned to each of the at least two peripheral modules.

Communications assembly having logic multichannel communication via a physical transmission path for serial interchip data transmission

A system with a first computer unit and with a second computer unit, wherein the first computer unit comprises a first interface to enable connection to at least one sensor and to at least one actuator, wherein the second computer unit comprises a second interface to enable connection to at least one sensor and to at least one actuator, wherein the first and the second computer units can be connected to each other by means of a further interface, wherein the actuator comprises an interface, wherein depending on the first or on the second operating state the interface determines whether a control command for a driving function is adopted by the first or the second computer unit, so that in the first operating state only the first computer unit can activate the actuator and in a second operating state only the second computer unit can activate the actuator.

Fail-safe EE architecture for automated driving

A method for transmitting frames containing data between users of a ring-shaped communication system which has a master and at least one slave as users. Each user has at least one interrupt register, and one field of the at least one interrupt register is associated with an interrupt request and includes a value for an interrupt bit. An interrupt request which includes the interrupt bit is transmitted to the master by a slave in a frame designed as an empty frame. In addition, the empty frame has a toggle bit for all slaves which indicates the state of an interrupt request.

Method for operating a communication system

An electrical energy system that is one embodiment includes at least one electrical energy module. The electrical energy module includes a monitoring device disposed within the energy module and a control device. Data can be transmitted between the energy module and the control device by means of structure-borne sound.

A method is described for transmitting data between participants of a serial, ring-shaped communications arrangement in which the participants are serially connected to one another, wherein a data packet is passed from a participant provided as a master to further participants provided as slaves, wherein the data packet is passed from slave to slave, and wherein address information of the data packet is altered by each slave.

Method for transmitting data

A communication system configuration has an annular design and includes multiple participants which are serially interconnected, one participant being configured as a master and the remaining participants being configured as slaves. The master is configured for transmitting a data packet to one or a plurality of slaves, and each slave has a shift register. The communication system includes a participant which has an external interface and is adapted for receiving data via the external interface from outside of the communication system to implement a debugging or a programming of one or a plurality of participants of the communication system or for transmitting data to outside of the communication system.

Communication configuration and method for debugging, respectively for programming one or more participants of the communication configuration

In a subscriber of a communication system for transmitting data of a data stream in time slots of recurring communication cycles, the communication system includes a communication medium, the subscriber, and at least one additional subscriber. The subscribers are connected to the communication medium for data transmission purposes. To allow better utilization of the available frequency range for data transmission, the subscribers have device(s) for spectral spreading of the data of the data stream before transmission via a certain code sequence and have device(s) for transmitting the spread data in the time slots of the recurring communication cycles. The communication system is preferably designed as a FlexRay communication system, the spread data being transmittable in chronological synchronization in a time slot of the communication cycle by various subscribers of the system. The communication medium is preferably designed as a powerline structure via which the subscribers are supplied with electrical power.

A method and a computer program for modeling an interfering pulse in a vehicle electric system are described. Previous approaches for synthesizing such interfering pulses have proven to be insufficiently realistic for the simulation of certain application cases. An interfering pulse is therefore modeled by random determination of the parameters of the parameter set representing the interfering pulse to be modeled on the basis of the density functions belonging to the parameters and by substituting the parameters thus obtained into a predetermined mathematical function. The interfering pulse modeled in this way is also a suitable starting point for modeling a pulse pattern, i.e., a random sequence of individually spaced interfering pulses and a pulse interferer scenario, i.e., a random sequence of individually spaced pulse patterns.
