    摘要: A method for locating a vehicle involves detecting an elevation profile of a roadway of the vehicle and in which image features on the roadway are detected as landmarks and are compared with landmarks stored on a digital map. A transformation of the detected and/or stored landmarks into a common perspective performed to compare the landmarks. The transformation is carried out based on model parameters of a parametric model of the elevation profile of the roadway and a parametric model of a vehicle inclination. The model parameters are determined by determining an expected elevation profile of the roadway from the parametric models of the elevation profile and the vehicle inclination and minimizing a difference between the expected elevation profile and the detected elevation profile by varying the model parameters.

    摘要: A door handle for a vehicle door of a motor vehicle includes a carrier plate, a handle part, and at least one lighting device arranged in/on the carrier plate with at least one lighting element and/or a light guide element. The lighting element and/or the light guide element are adjustable between an extended position of use and a retracted non-use position. The at least one lighting element and/or the at least one light guide element projects, in its extended position of use, into a recess of the handle part and thus illuminates at least parts of the handle part and/or of an area surrounding the handle part.

    摘要: A door system for a vehicle includes a vehicle door, a closing unit, an operating element arranged on the vehicle door for a vehicle user, a first light source, and a control unit. The first light source is arranged such that the first light source illuminates segments of the vehicle door and/or body in the region of the door gap. The control unit receives signals of an electronic key for the vehicle and controls the closing unit depending on signals of the electronic key, and the first light source depending on the closure state of the vehicle door and/or depending on a communication state of the electronic key with the control unit of the vehicle. For a defined closure state of the vehicle door or a defined communication state of the electronic key with the control unit, the control unit illuminates a location of the segments of the vehicle door assigned to the operating element and/or the segments of the body.

    摘要: A method involves a vehicle certification authority and a control device certification authority having a respective infrastructure for public keys based on an asymmetric pair of is established. The respective private key remains in the certification authority and the public key is distributed to the participants. The control device has initial cryptographic material by a control device-individual pair of keys being generated for the control device and the identity of the control device and its public key are transmitted to the control device certification authority, after which a control device-individual certificate is generated there for the transmitted data using the private key of the control device certification authority and transmitted back to the control device. The public key of the vehicle certification authority is stored in a tamper-proof manner in the control device. The vehicle identity belonging to the identity of the control device is determined and stored in a tamper-proof manner.

    摘要: A method for checking the suitability of a target trajectory for trajectory control of a vehicle. The target trajectory contains route information about the path of a route to be driven and momentum information about the momentum with which the route should be driven. The target trajectory is assessed as suitable for the trajectory control if the target traction and target tractive power are below a predetermined characteristic traction curve or characteristic tractive power curve, the target steering power is below a predetermined power limit of the steering, and the horizontal target tire forces on each wheel are within the friction value limits determined by the friction value. Otherwise, the target trajectory is assessed to be unsuitable.
