Abstract: A device for determining a position of a vehicle includes a camera system, a digital headlight system having a left digital headlight and a right digital headlight, and a data processing unit. The data processing unit is configured to assign a first detected reflected light beam by the camera system to the left digital headlight with a first angle, assign a second detected reflected light beam by the camera system to the right digital headlight with a second angle, and trigonometrically determine a distance of the vehicle from a charging module in a direction of a longitudinal axis of the vehicle and an offset in a transverse direction with respect to the longitudinal axis on a basis of the first and second angles and a distance between the left digital headlight and the right digital headlight.

Abstract: A method for controlling a charging station for charging vehicles in which a first charging unit of the charging station is coupled to a second charging unit of the relevant vehicle for transmitting current. When one of the vehicles is charged, an update operation of the charging station is performed, in which a control assembly of the one vehicle transmits a current software packet to a control device of the charging station.
