Abstract: A method for assisting a driver of a vehicle with driving of the vehicle is disclosed, in which the surroundings of the vehicle are detected. The detection of the surroundings comprises the course of driving paths as well as movement data relating to other road users. Historic data obtained at least from past driving maneuvers by road users in the detected surroundings are called up for the surroundings, the detected surroundings of the vehicle are analyzed and a traffic situation of the vehicle in relation to at least one second road user of the other detected road users is determined. A likely driving maneuver of the second road user is predicted based on the called-up historic data and the current traffic situation, and a control signal for assisting the driver with driving of the vehicle is generated depending on the predicted driving maneuver of the second road user.

Abstract: A method and a device for detecting odor nuisances along a route of a subject transportation vehicle and for predictively initiating measures for preventing the penetration of the odorants of the odor nuisance into the subject transportation vehicle during travel. The method includes collecting swarm data from a plurality of swarm transportation vehicles in the surroundings of the route of the subject transportation vehicle, relating to the odor nuisance of each swarm transportation vehicle, ascertaining locations of an odor nuisance from the collected swarm data, ascertaining the extent of the odor nuisance around the respective location of the odor nuisance, and initiating measures in the subject transportation vehicle when approaching the location of an odor nuisance while taking into account the extent of the odor nuisance along the future route, wherein the measure is implemented at a predefined distance from the extent of the odor nuisance.

Abstract: The disclosure relates to a method for processing data recorded by a motor vehicle. In a first step, at least one set of parameters for a temporal and spatial obfuscation of the recorded data is received. An item of data recorded by a motor vehicle is additionally received. A temporal and spatial obfuscation is then applied to the received item of data using the at least one received set of parameters. The obfuscated item of data is finally forwarded for further processing. The obfuscation may take place within the motor vehicle or in a back end connected to the motor vehicle.

Abstract: The disclosure relates to a method, to a computer program with instructions, and to a device for processing data recorded by a motor vehicle. The disclosure additionally relates to a motor vehicle and to a back end in which a method according to the disclosure or a device according to the disclosure is used. In a first step, an item of data recorded by a motor vehicle is received. A temporal obfuscation is then applied to the received item of data. In the process, a temporally segmented obfuscation interval is used for the temporal obfuscation. The obfuscated item of data is finally forwarded for further processing. The temporal obfuscation can be carried out within the motor vehicle or in a back end connected to the motor vehicle.

Abstract: A method for assisting an operation at least of one transportation vehicle, a corresponding assist system and the corresponding transportation vehicle. Respective environmental data are collected by transportation vehicles in areas in which two roads meet. A respective priority action is automatically determined from the environmental data for the areas. The determined priority actions are used to automatically determine priority rules for the areas. The determined priority rules are provided to at least one transportation vehicle to be operated to assist the operation of the transportation vehicle.

Abstract: A method and a device for locating a vehicle from a fixed reference map in which objects are assigned one or more positions in the reference map. At successive points of a vehicle trajectory, in each case a radar impulse is emitted and subsequently, angle-resolved and time-resolved measurements of the radar impulse response are performed. Object positions are identified in the environment surrounding the vehicle from the radar impulse response, the current identified object positions forming an environment map. The vehicle position is identified in the reference map by comparing the environment map to the reference map, the reference map being created from the identified positions and is continuously updated. An object classification for the identified object positions in the current environment map and/or reference map is performed and the identification of the vehicle position is performed while taking the object classification into account.

Abstract: A method, device and computer-readable storage medium with instructions for locating a datum detected by a motor vehicle. In a first step, at least one datum is detected (10) by a sensor system of the motor vehicle. In addition, additional data are determined (11) that make it possible to locate the at least one detected datum. The at least one detected datum and the additional data can be stored (12) in a memory of the motor vehicle. In an additional step, a data package is generated (13) by linking the additional data to the at least one detected datum. The data package can then be transmitted (14) to a back end independently or as a reaction to a request.
