The invention provides a method and a device for recognizing traffic signs by a sensor system for recording the surrounding environment for a vehicle, which includes at least one camera sensor and one radar sensor or LiDAR sensor. Based on the data of the at least one radar sensor or LiDAR sensor, at least one element of the presence of a traffic sign, or the size of a traffic sign, position of a traffic sign, distance and/or orientation of a traffic sign, bridge-like structure, position and/or type of the vehicle ahead, position of lane delimiting structures is obtained and used for traffic sign recognition.

Method and device for recognizing traffic signs for a vehicle

An emergency call unit for a vehicle includes not only a detection unit, a position-finding unit and a control unit, but also a transmission unit for the repeated transmission of a locating signal to a rescue worker. In this context, the locating signal may correspond to the position of the vehicle, and the transmission of the locating signal is initiated by a trigger event. By way of example, the trigger event is a request from a rescue worker or is the detection of an accident.

Positioning signal for rescue forces

A device, method, computer program and computer readable medium allowing for vehicle to vehicle and vehicle to infrastructure communication. An ignition key radio technology may used in addition to WLAN-based communication in a vehicle in order to communicate with other vehicles or infrastructure. The ignition key radio technology is used to send only selected data which have been altered significantly. The remaining data are not sent or kept for the WLAN communication.
