    Abstract: A method for the automated driving of a transportation vehicle, having at least one control device for calculating a trajectory, wherein control commands for actuators for setting longitudinal and lateral guidance of the transportation vehicle are calculated for the trajectory and are implemented by the actuators, wherein the control commands are updated at fixed points in time, wherein at each point in time a current emergency trajectory for bringing the transportation vehicle to a standstill is calculated, wherein a set of control commands for actuators for setting at least the lateral guidance are calculated for the emergency trajectory and, in the absence of the control commands for the trajectory, are automatically implemented by the actuators for the emergency trajectory. Also disclosed is an automated transportation vehicle.

    Abstract: A method for compensating for a manifesting diminished performance of a computing device of a vehicle that executes vehicle functions. A computing unit takes sensor data for determining a control variable for executing the vehicle function, such as a driving function of the vehicle. In the method, the functional capability of the computing device is monitored to detect a manifesting diminished performance and, when diminished performance is detected, to determine a performance variable that is characteristic of a still available functional capability of the computing device and determining an error variable that is characteristic of an error type relating to the diminished performance of the computing device. When the performance of the vehicle function task is at risk, a compensation function for substitutive execution is determined based on the performance variable or error variable and based on the vehicle function task to be performed.

    Abstract: A failover system for autonomous vehicles, including: detecting an error associated with a hardware resource of a first autonomous driving system of the autonomous vehicle; performing a failover from the first autonomous driving system to a second autonomous driving system comprising fewer hardware resources relative to the first autonomous driving system, wherein performing the failover causes control operations generated by the second autonomous driving system to be applied to the autonomous vehicle instead of control operations generated by the first autonomous driving system; and reconfigure one or more other hardware resources of the first autonomous driving system not associated with the error into a redundant autonomous driving system.

    Abstract: A method for operating a vehicle equipped for an automated driving operation. In a regular operating mode of the automated driving operation the vehicle is guided to a target position in an automated manner by a main control device, and in an emergency operating mode of the automated driving operation, it is moved into a safe stopping position in an automated manner by an auxiliary control device. A functional readiness of the auxiliary control device is continuously checked by the main control device. Depending on the checked functional readiness, a decision is made regarding whether a release for the automated driving operation should be granted or withdrawn. The automated driving operation is exclusively activated when the release has been granted, and is deactivated when the release is withdrawn.

    Abstract: A vehicle control method includes obtaining sensor status information and autonomous driving function information, where the sensor status information includes information indicating that one or more sensors are in a failed state. The autonomous driving function information indicates a currently running autonomous driving function. The autonomous driving function includes a plurality of running conditions, and implementation of each running condition is related to one or more sub-functions. A driving policy is implemented based on the impact of a failure of the one or more sensors on the running condition and the currently running autonomous driving function.
