Description

The invention relates to a method, a device, a mobile user device, and a corresponding computer program for providing information for use in a vehicle, and a method, device and computer program for using information in a vehicle, in particular based on combinations and sequences of Activities.

A modern vehicle comprises several devices, each of which forms so-called complex systems. Interaction between the vehicle, a user of the vehicle and / or with the surroundings of the vehicle, e.g. one or more road users, e.g. other vehicles, in turn, represents a highly complex system. In this context, the term "complexity" must be distinguished from the term "complexity". A complex system cannot generally be adequately described or mastered by dividing it into its components. For example, an almost infinite number of variants of an interaction between various devices of a vehicle, with a user of the vehicle and / or with an environment of the vehicle can occur. These can follow specific local rules or laws. Again, these cannot be adequately taken into account using available technical means. The complex system can be adequately described or mastered with these. For example, the complex system mentioned can have properties that cannot be described or controlled by local rules and laws. This represents a significant obstacle to the development of highly automated systems.

It is an object of the present invention to show a method, device and computer program for providing information for use in a vehicle, and a method, device and computer program for using information in a vehicle, in particular in connection with a measure in a vehicle.

The object is achieved by the features of the independent claims. Advantageous refinements are characterized in the subclaims.

• - Erfassen einer Kombination, bevorzugt Sequenz, umfassend zumindest eine erste Maßnahme und eine zweite Maßnahme,
• - Erkennen einer vorausbestimmten Bedingung in Bezug auf einen Abschnitt der Kombination, insbesondere Sequenz, und falls zumindest eine vorausbestimmte Bedingung erfüllt ist,
• - Bereitstellen einer Information auf Basis der Kennungen der einen oder mehreren erfassten Kombinationen, bevorzugt Sequenzen, der Maßnahmen zur Nutzung in einem zweiten Fahrzeug.

According to a first aspect, the invention is characterized by a method and a corresponding device for providing information for use in a vehicle, comprising:

• Detection of a combination, preferably a sequence, comprising at least a first measure and a second measure,
• Recognizing a predetermined condition with respect to a section of the combination, in particular sequence, and if at least one predetermined condition is met,
• - Providing information on the basis of the identifiers of the one or more detected combinations, preferably sequences, of the measures for use in a second vehicle.

In particular, the at least one first and second measure are measures which relate to different devices of the vehicle or are carried out with different devices of the vehicle or are controlled by different devices. Said different devices can e.g. be asynchronously operated devices. A device of the vehicle can e.g. a device set up in a backend for operating the vehicle can also be counted. At least one of the at least one first and second measure or the two corresponding devices can in each case essentially be influenced, in particular controlled, by a person and / or by an algorithm and / or by part of the surroundings of the vehicle.

The first and / or second measure can in particular be a measure that acts on the vehicle itself, on a user of the vehicle or on the surroundings of the vehicle.

For example, one of the first measures can be controlled by a person in the vehicle or act on a person in the vehicle. For example, one of the first measures can be one that depends on a part of the surroundings of the vehicle, e.g. a road user is executed or serves to influence a part of the surroundings of the vehicle in a (certain way).

The information provided can (as a result) be characteristic of the properties of a system comprising one or more devices of the vehicle and / or a user, in particular the driver of the vehicle and / or part of the vehicle environment. Such properties of the system can also be determined from the information provided (for use in a second vehicle). As a result, by means of the information provided, a property of the system, in particular with regard to one or more interactions between different devices be taken into account in the operation of the second vehicle, which is outside the properties of the individual devices which they have in isolation.

For example, an at least partially automated operation, in particular a highly automated or automatic operation of a second vehicle, or a traffic system for operating a plurality of second vehicles can take place depending on the information provided.

The combination, in particular the sequence of two or more measures, can in particular be a specific sequence of at least two measures, measures of a specific type or specific measures. A sequence can preferably be determined from two or more measures that were carried out in a first vehicle in a limited temporal, spatial and / or causal context (e.g. with a certain measure of success).

A combination, in particular a sequence of measures, can comprise at least one first measure, in particular a measure of a first type. In turn, this can be done within the sequence of measures e.g. occur two or more times with the same or different first action parameters. A section of a combination or sequence is itself to be regarded as a combination or sequence. For example only, it can be a following or related combination or sequence of measures: "Blink left", "Lane change left", "Blink right", "Lane change right" and shortly afterwards "Turn right".

For a combination, in particular the sequence of the measures, an identifier can preferably be determined which relates to a specific combination and / or sequence of the measures, and / or to specific, e.g. characterizes spatial, temporal, causal, relationships between the measures, measures of a certain type or certain measure parameters of a measure within a section of the combination or sequence. For example, the identifier can be used as a coding, e.g. can be determined using a pre-stored coding rule. One or more identifiers for the one or more detected combinations, preferably sequences of the measures, can e.g. are determined (coded) in one or more first vehicles.

The at least one predetermined condition can be determined in relation to a section of the combination, in particular the sequence of the measures. For example, it can be checked whether one or more predetermined conditions apply to one or more sections of a combination of the measures or not.

An identifier for the entire sequence or for a selected section of the sequence, in particular for the section of the sequence affected by the predetermined condition, can then be processed in the information to be provided. For example, frequently occurring sequences can be represented (encoded) with a (compact) identifier.

Further processing of the data, e.g. in a backend or a second vehicle, depending on the identifier for the combination, in particular the sequence of the measures, on a specific combination and / or sequence of the measures, and / or on specific, e.g. spatial, temporal, causal, relationships between the measures, measures of a certain type or certain measure parameters of a measure within a section of the combination or sequence.

• - die Art bzw. Kategorie der zumindest einer, bevorzugt zwei oder mehrerer Maßnahmen, und/oder
• - Reihenfolge in der die zumindest zwei oder mehrere Maßnahmen, und/oder
• - Zeitintervalle und/oder räumliche Distanzintervalle und/oder räumliche Anordnung zwischen zumindest der Ausführung zwei Maßnahmen,
• - Proportionen zwischen den Zeitpunkten, Zeitintervallen, und/oder Distanzintervallen, zwischen zwei oder mehreren Maßnahmen, und/oder
• - ein bestimmtes Muster aus den, insbesondere erfolgreichen oder nicht erfolgreichen Ausführungen der Maßnahmen.

An identifier of the combination of the measures, in particular the sequence of the measures, can preferably be characteristic of

• - The type or category of at least one, preferably two or more measures, and / or
• - Order in which the at least two or more measures, and / or
• Time intervals and / or spatial distance intervals and / or spatial arrangement between at least the execution of two measures,
• - Proportions between the times, time intervals, and / or distance intervals, between two or more measures, and / or
• - a specific pattern from the, in particular successful or unsuccessful, execution of the measures.

In particular, the combinations, in particular sequences, can be determined in the form of absolute identifiers. The at least predominantly relative, for example mutually related identifiers, for example proportions, quantitative relationships, etc. are preferably formed and processed further. For example, data protection can be significantly improved.
The method can recognize and / or recognize a pre-stored or a recurring pattern that was formed on identifications of the measures and / or measure parameters. The combinations, in particular identifiers, can be in particular in the at least one first vehicle and / or in a spaced-apart computing unit, for example backend as such recognized, encoded and possibly made available for further processing.

The at least one measure, e.g. a first measure and / or a second measure can be identified by a preparation, execution, conclusion or an effect of the respective measure in the at least one first vehicle. Alternatively or additionally, the at least one measure (the first measure and / or a second measure) can be based on an intention of an occupant, e.g. Driver of the first vehicle can be recognized when he executes them.

In particular, the method can be applied to the at least one first measure and the at least one second measure, which are not or not “hard”, unambiguously and / or not functionally linked (technically and / or logically) or if there is a technical connection between them the measures are not sufficiently known.

Properties or relationships that are not attributable to a specific device of the vehicle or that can be determined from the properties of the individual parts can then also be taken into account in the operation of the second vehicle. The advantage can arise that the conditions (but not described in detail) by a so-called complex system of vehicle, driver or use of the vehicle, vehicle environment can be taken into account for operating a second vehicle.

Said connection can relate, for example, to at least two specific measures in a first vehicle, each of which can be assigned to different devices, users or parts of the surroundings of the vehicle that are not clearly interrelated or completely controlled by one another.

The said relationship between the first measure and the second measure can consist of or be recognized by the fact that the at least one first measure and at least one second measure were initiated or carried out within a limited time interval and / or in a predetermined spatial relationship to one another.

Alternatively or additionally, the measure of the relationship can characterize a certain causality between the first measure and the second measure. Such causality can e.g. determined and taken into account by means of a logic set up for this purpose. In particular, the measure of the relationship, in particular the causality, can be determined and taken into account, which is characteristic of which of the at least two measures depends on a different measure and, if appropriate, how. Such a causality can be determined or estimated, for example, from known technical circumstances in the first vehicle and / or from circumstances outside of technical relationships in the first vehicle.

At least one measure of the relationship can be determined and taken into account.

In a simplified case, the measure of the relationship can characterize a temporal and / or spatial relationship of the at least two measures, and / or a recognized or recognizable causality between at least two measures.

The at least one first measure can comprise a specific action, in particular an operating action, a combination or a specific sequence of several (different) operating actions. The at least one first measure can be a control process of a vehicle system. For example, a measure parameter of a first measure can represent a specific sequence or sequence from specific actions, in particular the operating actions of the vehicle.

The at least one first measure can relate to a change in the state of a vehicle device, in particular a driver assistance system or a device of the vehicle for at least partially automated driving. This can e.g. an activation or change of certain performance features of a vehicle device or a change in state. For example, the at least one first measure can relate to a change (increase or decrease) in the degree of automation with which the respective vehicle is operated.

Based on the information provided, the following can be carried out in the second vehicle (a user vehicle), for example:

• - if it is determined in the user vehicle that a first measure is planned, initiated or carried out, and in a certain (spatial, temporal and / or causal) context (for example simultaneously, before or after or not in a specific order) If no second measure, in particular no second measure of a certain second type, or no specific second measure is planned, arranged or carried out, then:
• - Causing, changing, bringing forward or delaying the at least one measure of the second type or the second measure; and or
• - If it is determined that at least one second measure is planned, arranged or carried out in the user vehicle, the one with a further planned, induced or executed first measure (spatial, temporal, causal) in a large number of the first vehicles is not or not has occurred sufficiently frequently (with a sufficient degree of context) and / or has not been carried out with a sufficient degree of success, then there is a:
• Suppression, change, advance or delay of the second measure, and / or output of driver information, in particular requesting a driver decision, in relation to the second measure.
• - Prediction of a state or a behavior of a device of the second vehicle and / or a system comprising at least two devices of the second vehicle, for example for a specific time interval and / or in the case of a specific action. For example, certain conditions, events or behavioral characteristics can be predicted in relation to a second vehicle.
• - Determining, in particular predicting a measure of a probability or a measure of a risk in relation to a failure, error or inoperability in the operation of a second vehicle, for example a measure of a probability or a measure of a risk for a specific event in relation to specific measures , in particular maneuvers and / or in relation to a specific device of the second vehicle are determined or predicted.

Alternatively or additionally, the information provided for use in a second vehicle can be carried out in any device that is also located outside the second vehicle and that is set up to operate the at least one second vehicle. In other words, the “use in a second vehicle” can also mean the “use for operating or operating a second vehicle”.

• - Beeinflussung, insbesondere Steuerung eines Verkehrssystems zum Betrieb eins oder mehrerer zweiten Fahrzeuge. Dabei kann das Verkehrssystem eine Infrastrukturvorrichtung, z.B. umfassend Verkehrssignalisierung, steuerbare Verkehrszeichen, Weichen, etc. umfassen.
• - Ausgabe einer Verkehrsinformation zum Betrieb eines oder mehrerer zweiten Fahrzeuge, z.B. einer variablen (adaptiven) Verkehrsinformation oder Karteninformation.

For example, based on the information provided:

• Influencing, in particular controlling a traffic system for operating one or more second vehicles. The traffic system can include an infrastructure device, for example comprising traffic signaling, controllable traffic signs, switches, etc.
• - Output of traffic information for operating one or more second vehicles, for example variable (adaptive) traffic information or map information.

The at least one first measure or the measure of a first type in the second vehicle can e.g. the reason for their execution, execution or an attempt to carry them out or to have them identified are identified by the data.

According to an optional embodiment, the at least one first measure or a first measure parameter of the first measure and the at least one second measure or a second measure parameter of the second measure are not clearly linked to one another, in particular not functionally and / or not quantitatively.

For example, the at least one first measure and the at least one second measure or the e.g. qualitative or quantitative first measure parameters of the first measure and e.g. qualitative or quantitative second measure parameters of the second measure are not linked by logic set up inside the vehicle, in particular not hard, not unambiguously or not functionally or not technically dependent on one another.

In other words, the second measure can be a measure whose first measure parameters do not or could not result with sufficient accuracy or with insufficient accuracy from a first measure carried out simultaneously or shortly before.

The at least one first measure and the at least one second measure or the e.g. corresponding first measure parameter of the first measure and the second measure parameter of the second measure can be linked via a causality external to the vehicle, which essentially relates to an effect on the vehicle from the outside, e.g. by a road user.

In other words, a causality between the at least one first measure and the at least second measure can be based on the (arbitrarily complex, possibly not clearly technically assessable) traffic situation, a so-called (arbitrarily complex, possibly not clearly technically assessable) human factor, etc . consist. One advantage of the method is based on the fact that it works without being factually inferior, inexplicable or too complex Causality must be rationally understood and / or reproduced.

In the method, in particular explicitly or implicitly, a measure of the relationship between the at least one first measure or a first measure parameter of the first measure and the at least one second measure or a first measure parameter of the second measure can be determined and taken into account, which is not or not explicitly based on a based on deterministic and / or a priori technical conditions known in a first vehicle.

For example, it can be determined that a measure of the relationship determined, in particular estimated, in a first vehicle exceeds a known or estimated technically-related causality.

According to a further optional embodiment, an identifier for a causality between the at least two measures that occurred in the first vehicle in a spatial and / or temporal context is determined and taken into account.

The said identifier for the causality preferably identifies a (at least probable) reason and / or an (at least probable) exclusion from a reason for a connection, in particular for the determined measure of the connection between the at least two measures.

For example, the said measure of the relationship can include or represent an identifier of the causality determined or estimated in each case.

• - ein erstes Maß des Zusammenhangs zwischen der zumindest einen ersten Maßnahme oder einem ersten Maßnahmenparameter der ersten Maßnahme und der zumindest einen zweiten Maßnahme oder einem ersten Maßnahmenparameter der zweiten Maßnahme, der den bekannten, ermittelten oder geschätzten technischen oder logischen Zusammenhängen entspricht,
• - ein zweites Maß des Zusammenhangs zwischen der zumindest einen ersten Maßnahme oder einem ersten Maßnahmenparameter der ersten Maßnahme und der zumindest einen zweiten Maßnahme oder einem ersten Maßnahmenparameter der zweiten Maßnahme, der nicht den bekannten, ermittelten oder geschätzten technischen oder logischen Zusammenhängen entspricht,
• - ein drittes Maß des Zusammenhangs zwischen der zumindest einer ersten Maßnahme oder einem ersten Maßnahmenparameter der ersten Maßnahme und der zumindest einen zweiten Maßnahme oder einem ersten Maßnahmenparameter der zweiten Maßnahme, der auf eine menschliche Entscheidung innerhalb des Fahrzeugs und/oder außerhalb des Fahrzeugs bedingt oder zurückzuführen ist;

For example, the said measure of the context or the information provided based on it can identify the following:

• a first measure of the relationship between the at least one first measure or a first measure parameter of the first measure and the at least one second measure or a first measure parameter of the second measure, which corresponds to the known, ascertained or estimated technical or logical relationships,
• a second measure of the relationship between the at least one first measure or a first measure parameter of the first measure and the at least one second measure or a first measure parameter of the second measure, which does not correspond to the known, ascertained or estimated technical or logical relationships,
• a third measure of the relationship between the at least one first measure or a first measure parameter of the first measure and the at least one second measure or a first measure parameter of the second measure, which is due to or attributable to a human decision inside the vehicle and / or outside the vehicle is;

In particular, the first measure of the relationship can correspond to a (to a reasonable extent) explicitly determined or corrected technical and / or a more or less hard, in particular quantitative, logical relationship.

In particular, the second measure of the relationship can correspond to a (to a reasonable extent) explicitly determined or corrected technical and / or a non-explicit or incomprehensible relationship that e.g. does not correspond to a stored knowledge about a technical connection.

In particular, the third measure of the relationship can correspond to a relationship (explicitly determined to a reasonable extent) or adjusted by a person inside the vehicle and / or by a person outside the vehicle.

The second measure of the relationship can include the third measure of the relationship.

According to the invention, the first, second and / or third measure of the relationship can be determined or estimated depending on at least one or two of the known measures of the relationship. At least one specific first, second, third dimension of the relationship and / or a ratio of the at least two dimensions of the relationship can be taken into account in the second vehicle.

Information about the relationship between the first measure of the relationship and / or the second measure of the relationship or the third measure of the relationship can preferably be determined and taken into account in the method. For example, the said relationship or the information provided can identify an identifier for an (at least estimated) ratio of the measure of the relationship. An identifier for a first, second, third measure of the relationship and / or the (at least estimated) ratio of the measures of the Context are taken into account in the second vehicle.

• - auf eine (gewünschte) technische Gegebenheit,
• - auf eine (nicht bekannte) technischen Gegebenheit,
• - auf eine menschliche Entscheidung eines Menschen innerhalb des Fahrzeugs und/oder eines Menschen außerhalb des Fahrzeugs zurückzuführen ist.

For example, in the second vehicle, a third measure (roughly suitable for the first type of measure or for a second type of measure or a measure of another type) is prepared, changed, parameterized, initiated, or controlled, depending on whether and in which Measure of the relationship between the first measure and the second measure,

• - on a (desired) technical condition,
• - on a (unknown) technical condition,
• - is the result of a human decision by a person inside the vehicle and / or a person outside the vehicle.

The information to be provided or provided particularly preferably relates to two or more boundary conditions and / or vehicle operating parameters, preferably to boundary conditions and / or vehicle operating parameters, which are at least likely to be expected in the at least one second vehicle. The (final) selection or consideration of the information provided can take place from the boundary conditions and / or vehicle operating parameters that have actually arrived or are predicted with a particularly high probability. For example, different information to be provided can be transmitted to at least two different second vehicles.

The boundary conditions and / or vehicle operating parameters can be recorded and taken into account as value ranges for certain parameters. The boundary conditions can be parameters of the surroundings of the vehicle (which are not directly dependent on the vehicle).

• Bevorzugte Beispiele der Randbedingungen sind:
  • - Parameter kennzeichnend (für einen betreffenden Ort, Fahrbahnabschnitt und/oder Zeitintervall) geltende Verkehrsregeln und/oder rechtliche Bestimmungen;
  • - Ein Parameter der sogenannten Randbebauung, z.B. Vorhandensein sog. erhabener Objekte am Fahrbahnrand bzw. in der Nähe des Fahrbahnrandes;
  • - Tageszeit, Ausleuchtungsparameter: Helligkeit, Dunkelheit, tiefstehende Sonne, etc.;
  • - Wetterparameter, z.B. einen Indikator für bestimmte Niederschläge, Wind;
  • - Umgebungstemperatur;
  • - Einen Indikator für eine Fahrbahnbeschaffenheit, insbesondere einen Reibwert, bevorzugt eine räumliche Aufteilung eines Reibwertkoeffizienten (für einen betreffenden Ort, Fahrbahnabschnitt und/oder Zeitintervall);
  • - Allgemeine Verkehrssituation, z.B. kennzeichnend eine Verkehrsdichte.

Several different boundary conditions are preferably taken into account:

• Preferred examples of the boundary conditions are:
  • - Characteristic parameters (for a location, lane section and / or time interval) applicable traffic rules and / or legal provisions;
  • - A parameter of the so-called edge development, for example the presence of so-called raised objects on the edge of the road or in the vicinity of the edge of the road;
  • - Time of day, lighting parameters: brightness, darkness, low-lying sun, etc .;
  • - Weather parameters, eg an indicator for certain precipitation, wind;
  • - ambient temperature;
  • An indicator of a road surface condition, in particular a coefficient of friction, preferably a spatial division of a coefficient of friction (for a location, road segment and / or time interval in question);
  • - General traffic situation, for example characterizing a traffic density.

According to an advantageous development, one or more sections of the information provided or to be provided can be linked to one or more specific application conditions, in particular representing one or more operating decisions by the driver of the second vehicle. The information provided can be used depending on the fulfillment of the at least one application condition in the second vehicle. An application condition can include one or more application parameters. The application condition can e.g. Identify certain circumstances, events, a certain range of values of certain parameters which are and / or do not have to be present, so that the information provided is taken into account in the second (in a certain way), in particular in a certain way. In simple terms, the information provided can identify one or more application conditions, the at least one application condition in a second vehicle and / or mobile user device carried in a second vehicle being able to be compared with the conditions in the at least one second vehicle when the method is used. The use of the information provided can depend on the result of the comparison.

According to an advantageous development, one or more sections of the information provided or to be provided can be assigned to specific sections of the road and / or with certain road arrangements (intersections, exits, entrances, roundabouts, etc.), distinctive points within a route and / or certain traffic signs. This has the advantage that appropriate, possibly verified, available information is used.

The transmission of the provided (to be provided) information can be initiated or controlled by a computing unit, in particular by a computing unit arranged outside the (first) vehicle (for example a “push method”) or, for example, by one (installed in a second vehicle) or carried) Computing unit of the vehicle initiated or controlled processes (such as a "pull process").

Different data packets and / or sections of the data stream of the said information can be transmitted (called up and / or sent) to two different second vehicles, for example depending on the vehicle model and / or depending on the prevailing or predicted boundary conditions.

According to an optional embodiment, if the determined measure of the relationship between the at least two measures fulfills a predetermined condition, a mathematical relationship between a first measure parameter of the first measure and a second measure parameter of the second measure is determined and information based on the one or more mathematical measures Relationships between the at least one first measure parameter and the one second measure parameter are provided in the one or more first vehicles.

Said mathematical relationship can characterize a predefined mathematical law, rule, regulation and / or relation between one or more of the corresponding parameters - a first measure parameter of the first measure and a second measure parameter of the second measure - (also to be understood as corresponding values of the parameters) or represent. The mathematical relationship can represent coefficients for one or more, in particular predetermined, equations, polynomials or a simulation. This is preferably an appropriately defined mathematical relationship. For example, the mathematical relationship can only represent a mathematical ratio of the parameters mentioned, not or only in a reduced form the quantities themselves. This results in an advantage in the amount of data and further data processing and for better data protection. The mathematical relationship particularly preferably comprises at least one function which represents a spatial relationship and / or a temporal relationship, in particular a gradient according to a spatial size (relative sizes, for example distance, distance and / or absolute sizes, for example specific position sequence) and / or one time-related size (relative sizes, eg time intervals, and / or absolute sizes, such as a sequence of specific times).

In a simplified case, the mathematical relationship can include an assignment or an assignment rule between one or more first measure parameters of the first measure and second measure parameters of the second measure. The mathematical relationship or the assignment can preferably be related to certain boundary conditions and / or vehicle operating parameters, for example value ranges of one or more parameters of the boundary conditions and / or vehicle operating parameters in the at least one first vehicle.

For example, one or more data records and / or learning data are determined in the method on the basis of one or more determined mathematical relationships. This step can be done at least partially within the first vehicle, e.g. with means of the vehicle or in a mobile user device or preferably in a spaced computing unit, e.g. Run backend. For example, information based on one or more determined data records and / or learning data is then provided for use in a second vehicle. In particular, the reading in and / or use of the information provided is dependent on the movement of the at least one second vehicle.

Alternatively or additionally, the at least one mathematical context and / or information provided on the basis of one or more mathematical relationships can represent a solution space for a multiplicity of the properties of the first vehicle in relation to one or more (specific) measures.

In this case, the provision of said information for the at least one second vehicle can be used to preselect or restrict the measures which can then be carried out. With the mathematical connection, one or more properties of the first vehicle can also preferably represent, at least partially in a system-theoretical manner (relationship between the resulting input and output variables).

For example, the information provided for at least one second vehicle or the information provided for the operation of the second vehicle can take place at least predominantly on the basis of the mathematical relationships that were determined in a first vehicle under first boundary conditions and / or vehicle operating parameters that were to be ascertained or recorded second boundary conditions and / or vehicle operating parameters in the second vehicle, for example with regard to a similarity measure or the corresponding value ranges of the parameters.

In particular, the determined mathematical relationships and / or a Provided or to be provided information determined based on the mathematical relationships in relation to several different position information. Furthermore, the mathematical relationships to the corresponding position information, for example the data, can be assigned to a digital map. For example, the said mathematical relationships and / or the information provided or provided can be assigned to a digital map, for example to a so-called layer of a digital map, in particular to specific objects and / or position information (“linked” to these). This can be determined during operation of the second vehicle (for example, read from the map when driving the corresponding route) and used.

Certain information determined in the method, in particular mathematical relationships in relation to certain boundary conditions and / or vehicle operating parameters, can preferably be processed. The at least one mathematical relationship can be determined depending on the corresponding boundary conditions and / or vehicle operating parameters or can be assigned to specific boundary conditions and / or vehicle operating parameters. In particular, a statistical relationship between certain boundary conditions and / or vehicle operating parameters can be determined and taken into account.

The boundary conditions and / or vehicle operating parameters or the comparison of the mathematical relationships with different boundary conditions and / or vehicle operating parameters can preferably be taken into account. This can preferably be done on a backend server (i.e. "offline"). The advantage here is that larger and cheaper computational resources are available and a very high number of mathematical relationships from a large number of first vehicles can be taken into account.

• - Ermitteln eines mathematischen Zusammenhangs zwischen einem ersten Maßnahmenparameter der ersten Maßnahme und einem Maßnahmenparameter der zweiten Maßnahme, und
• - Bereitstellen einer Information auf Basis des einen oder mehreren mathematischer Zusammenhänge zwischen dem zumindest einem ersten Maßnahmenparameter und dem einem zweiten Maßnahmenparameter in dem einem oder mehreren ersten Fahrzeugen.

According to an optional embodiment, the method comprises:

• Determining a mathematical relationship between a first measure parameter of the first measure and a measure parameter of the second measure, and
• - Providing information on the basis of the one or more mathematical relationships between the at least one first measure parameter and the second measure parameter in the one or more first vehicles.

The first measure parameter and / or the second measure parameter of the first or second measure can be a qualitative and / or quantitative parameter.

A qualitative measure parameter, e.g. identify a selection from several alternative variants of a measure, a mode of a specific vehicle system (e.g. related to a possible second measure).

A quantitative measure parameter can e.g. a quantitative e.g. Mark the temporal and / or spatial dimensioning of the first measure or second measure.

The first measure parameter and / or the second measure parameter of the first or second measure can e.g. a time parameter, which is characteristic of a certain time interval, point in time or a certain time dependency. For example, the at least one measure parameter can have a suitable, not suitable or particularly well-suited time interval or time for execution, e.g. the beginning, a certain phase, the end, which mark at least one second measure.

Said mathematical relationship preferably characterizes a function according to which a measure parameter of a first measure is related to said data pattern on the basis of the data from a sensor.

In particular, the mathematical relationship is only then or predominantly determined or processed, e.g. Considered in the information provided if the determined measure of the relationship between the at least one first measure and the at least one second measure fulfills a predetermined condition.

A first measure and / or a second measure can, but need not, relate to a driving action. In particular, the at least one first measure and / or second measure does not relate to a vehicle management task and / or influencing the movement of the respective vehicle. In particular, the at least one first measure and / or second measure can be related to a specific driving task and / or in connection with a specific driving task or with a specific maneuver. Information relating to a first measure relating to a (specific) driving task can be taken into account in the mathematical context.

• - ein System einer aktiven Sicherheit,
• - ein System passiver Sicherheit,
• - eine Signalisierung des Fahrzeugs nach außen,
• - ein System zur Steuerung, insbesondere Regelung der Vertikaldynamik des Fahrzeugs,
• - ein System für eine Längsführung des Fahrzeug, ein System zur Querführung des Fahrzeugs,
• - ein System für das Infotainment im Innenraum des Fahrzeugs,
• - ein Lichtsystem des Fahrzeugs, ein Audio-System des Fahrzeugs.

The first measure and / or second measure are preferably processes that are carried out in vehicles only in certain cases, if necessary. The types of the first measure and / or the second measure can relate, for example:

• - an active security system,
• - a system of passive security,
• - signaling the vehicle to the outside,
• a system for controlling, in particular regulating the vertical dynamics of the vehicle,
• a system for longitudinal guidance of the vehicle, a system for lateral guidance of the vehicle,
• - a system for infotainment inside the vehicle,
• - a lighting system of the vehicle, an audio system of the vehicle.

Furthermore, the at least one first measure and / or second measure can relate to one or more vehicle functionalities (corresponding to the systems mentioned).

The at least one first measure and the at least one second measure preferably do not represent any significant or in the similar way taken into account common input variables and / or effects in the vehicle. The at least one first measure and the at least one second measure can be characterized by the same or, preferably, different purposes. The method can also be used to combine different measures that cannot be networked within the vehicle with any suitable logic.

For example, the at least one second measure can relate to a support, correction, and / or suppression of an operating action by a user of the vehicle and / or a change made to the operating action in the second vehicle. For example, the at least one second measure, in particular one of a plurality of possible second measures, can be selected, initiated, prevented or adapted, which relates to support, correction and / or suppression of an operating action by a user.

According to a further optional embodiment, the at least one second measure in the second vehicle is a measure of a different type than the at least one or more of the first measures in the one or more first vehicles.

The second measure can be a measure of a different type than the one or the first measures. In particular, the second measure can be another, e.g. System of the vehicle set up for another purpose or a system carried in the vehicle relate to the one or more corresponding first measures.

In exceptional cases, the at least one second measure can also include a measure of the same type as the first measure, in particular a same measure.

For example, in one or more second vehicles, depending on one or more mathematical relationships, based on the first measure parameters, which relate to a first measure of a specific 1st type or category in one or more first vehicles in connection with a first driving situation, one or several second measures related to a second driving situation are prepared, initiated, controlled, adapted or prevented that belong to a second type or category.

For example, the at least one first measure can be related to a driving task, while the at least one second measure, which is carried out or influenced depending on the information based on a number of the first measures, is not or not directly related to a driving task.

The method (in particular at least the method for using the information provided) particularly preferably comprises determining a third measure parameter of at least one second measure in a second vehicle as a function of the information provided. For example, the at least one second measure can be parameterized in a second vehicle depending on a large number of (selected) first measure parameters.

• - Ermitteln einer Kennung einer ersten Fahrsituation bei welcher die zumindest eine erste Maßnahme, die zumindest zweite Maßnahme oder insbesondere eine bestimmte Kombination aus der ersten Maßnahme und der zweiten Maßnahme ausgeführt wurden, und Berücksichtigen der Kennung der Fahrsituation in dem mathematischen Zusammenhang oder in der bereitgestellten Information.

According to a further optional embodiment, the method comprises:

• - Determining an identifier of a first driving situation in which the at least one first measure, the at least second measure or in particular a specific combination of the first measure and the second measure were carried out, and taking the identifier of the driving situation into account in the mathematical context or in the information provided ,

Said first driving situation and / or second driving situation can, for example, as a specific arrangement, driving parameters of road users be understood. In particular, a driving situation is characterized by a certain pattern, for example a pattern of several driving situation parameters. The driving situation can also be characterized by a spatial pattern of the so-called free spaces in the vicinity of the vehicle. Furthermore, the driving situation can be characterized by or take into account one or more parameters of the traffic rules (relevant in connection with this), for example traffic signs, right of way, traffic light phases or traffic light circuits.

• - eine (bestimmte) räumliche Verteilung der Verkehrsteilnehmer und/oder der Bewegungsparameter der Verkehrsteilnehmer, insbesondere ein Verteilungsmuster der Verkehrsteilnehmer in der Umgebung des Fahrzeugs,
• - eine (bestimmte) räumliche Verteilung unbeweglicher Objekte in der Umgebung des Fahrzeugs,
• - eine relative Position und/oder Bewegungsparameter zu bestimmten Arten von Spurenmarkierungen, Verkehrszeichen, Ampeln (nicht notwendigerweise zu bestimmten Ampeln, etc.),
• - eine Information über die Vorfahrt des Ego-Fahrzeugs, insbesondere gegenüber bestimmten Verkehrsteilnehmern und/oder Verkehrsteilnehmern, die tatsächlich oder zumindest potentiell aus bestimmten Richtungen, z.B. einer querenden Straße rechts oder von links kommen oder kommen können,
• - eine Information zu einer, z.B. einen Grenzwert überschreitenden, Handlung eines Verkehrsteilnehmers in der Umgebung des Fahrzeugs, z.B. Hupen, Lichthupe, Drängeln, Überholen des Fahrzeugs, ein Überholversuch und Dergleichen.

Said first driving situation and / or second driving situation is preferably characterized by:

• a (certain) spatial distribution of the road users and / or the movement parameters of the road users, in particular a distribution pattern of the road users in the vicinity of the vehicle,
• - a (certain) spatial distribution of immovable objects in the vicinity of the vehicle,
• - a relative position and / or movement parameters to certain types of lane markings, traffic signs, traffic lights (not necessarily to certain traffic lights, etc.),
• information about the right of way of the ego vehicle, in particular vis-à-vis certain road users and / or road users who actually or at least potentially come or can come from certain directions, for example a crossing road to the right or from the left,
• - Information on an action, for example exceeding a limit value, of a road user in the area surrounding the vehicle, for example horns, flashing lights, pushing, overtaking the vehicle, an attempt to overtake and the like.

The first driving situation and / or second driving situation can preferably be characterized by certain features of the change or dynamics of said parameters, in particular in relation to one another.

The at least one driving situation can preferably be a driving situation or driving situation that exceeds certain limit values and is characterized by parameters that exceed certain limit values. For example, the at least one driving situation can be a driving situation with an undesirable or dangerous approach to an object or a road user, an acceleration value that exceeds a limit value, an undesired arrangement with other road users, etc. The driving situation can be a (e.g. comparatively rare) special situation or a dangerous driving situation, e.g. a driving situation for which an increased risk is determined or assumed.

For example, the first driving situation and / or the second driving situation can be a driving situation that includes an undesired or dangerous approach to an object or a road user, an acceleration value that exceeds a limit value, an undesired arrangement to other road users, etc. The first driving situation and / or the second driving situation can be a (rarely occurring) special situation or a dangerous driving situation, e.g. a driving situation for which an increased risk is determined or assumed.

In particular, the meaning of the term "driving situation" differs from a colloquial meaning of the term "traffic situation". As an alternative or in addition, the present traffic situation can also be determined and appropriately taken into account. An identifier of the traffic situation can e.g. read out from data of a navigation system and taken into account when driving on a corresponding lane location. In a simplified case, an identifier, e.g. correspond to certain categories "free traffic", "heavy traffic", "slow-moving traffic", "traffic jam", etc. In contrast to the driving situation, the traffic situation can be a scalar variable.

The method preferably comprises a step in which a classification of the first driving situation is carried out. The first driving situation can be assigned to one of several predefined classes.

Such a classification can be carried out within the respective first vehicles and / or in a spaced computing unit.

Furthermore, the method for using the information provided can include determining, in particular predicting the second driving situation and then reading in and / or processing the information provided depending on the second driving situation.

The at least one second driving situation is particularly preferably characterized by a specific relation to the one or more first driving situations, in particular to several first driving situations that are sufficiently similar to one another.

For example, the second driving situation is a driving situation (at least in principle) that is the same and / or similar according to predetermined criteria as the at least one first driving situation. For example, the at least one second driving situation can be a driving situation that exceeds a predetermined degree of similarity with the one or more first driving situations. The presence of the second driving situation can therefore also be recognized by the fact that a certain degree of similarity with one or more, preferably mutually similar, first driving situations is recognized.

A driving situation based on and / or in the form of a pattern, e.g. a recognition pattern is determined, the pattern of the driving situation being determined by certain mathematical relationships of the at least two different underlying variables.

For example, a pattern is characterized in that the respective ego vehicle, e.g. has at least twice the speed of another road user, e.g. a crossing vehicle with or without right of way, a vehicle to be overtaken, etc.

The presence and / or an early occurrence of the at least one second driving situation in relation to a second vehicle can be recognized, for example, depending on the presence of a second pattern that corresponds to or is sufficiently similar to one or more first patterns of the one or more first driving situations.

For example, depending on a section of the information provided, a e.g. at least in part by the driver or by a system of the vehicle, a blinking signal in a first direction (e.g. right or left) in connection with a specific lane location and / or driving situation is questioned if at this or similar lane location and / or at the similar driving situation, at least the overwhelming majority of the first vehicles have performed a flashing signal in another second direction (eg left or right).

The direction of the flashing signal is to be understood as the first measure parameter in this example.

In a simplified case, the first driving situation can be determined by certain criteria, e.g. Act to exceed and / or fall below predefined limit values, marked driving situation.

According to a further optional embodiment, the at least one first combination, in particular sequence, of measures mainly relates to control by a human driver, and a third measure influenced or controlled depending on the information provided in a second vehicle, in particular a third measure parameter of the third Measure on an at least partially automatically initiated or executed measure.

The at least one first measure can preferably include a manually executed control or regulation, in particular a continuous change of a variable relevant for the guidance of the vehicle, for example vehicle steering. For example, the at least one measure parameter of the at least one first measure comprises at least one (temporal and / or spatial) change function of a variable relevant for the guidance of the vehicle.

For example, the first measure parameter can comprise a function characterizing a change in steering angle, wheelbase angle depending on a time-related variable (for example: running seconds) and / or depending on a space-related variable (for example: running meters). The time-related size or space-related size can in particular be related to certain values, e.g. apply at the beginning of a maneuver to a road user with whom the vehicle interacts.

Alternatively or additionally, a first measure and / or second measure can include activating a system of the vehicle, adjusting it, putting it in a specific mode and / or bringing about a specific state transition of the vehicle system.

The at least one first measure and / or the at least one second measure and / or optionally the at least one third measure particularly preferably relates to a process which is extended or continuous (in a certain way) in time and / or space. For example, the at least one first measure parameter and / or the at least one second measure parameter can be a (specific) temporal and / or spatial change or course of a physical variable, e.g. mark in relation to the control of the vehicle.

For example, the at least one first measure parameter and / or a second measure parameter can be a change function of a pedal angle and / or a steering angle or a related variable, for example an odometric variable. The processing of such measure parameters in the process is essential because it enables the information to be used in one or more second vehicles on the basis of the continuous processes that are decisive for the driving style. Certain aspects or advantages of such processes can be transferred to at least one second vehicle by means of the information provided on the basis of the successfully completed first measures in a large number of the first vehicles.

A second measure parameter of a second measure is preferably determined in the one or more second vehicles on the basis of the information provided, which parameter comprises at least one continuous process characterized by a specific temporal and / or spatial change function, e.g. includes a control process, in particular a control process.

• - eine räumliche und/oder zeitliche Veränderung einer maßgeblichen Größe, und/oder
• - Anhängigkeit von zumindest einem Parameter der Fahrsituation, und/oder
• - Abhängigkeit von einer relativen Position und/oder Relativbewegung zu einem relevanten Verkehrsteilnehmer oder Objekt innerhalb der Fahrsituation, und/oder dergleichen umfassen.

For example, the at least one second measure parameter represents a change function of a variable that is decisive for the guidance of the second vehicle, for example a function in connection with the longitudinal guidance and / or transverse guidance and / or a control of vertical dynamic parameters of the second vehicle. The change function can, for example

• - a spatial and / or temporal change of a significant size, and / or
• - Dependency on at least one parameter of the driving situation, and / or
• - Include dependency on a relative position and / or relative movement to a relevant road user or object within the driving situation, and / or the like.

For example, the at least one measure parameter can be a movement in relation to at least one, e.g. to mark overtaking road users.

On the basis of the features described in this document, the method can be at least partially recorded and made transferable by means of a large number of said mathematical relationships, generally referred to as “skill” by a human or possibly more advanced automated driver (or an algorithm). In particular, the advantages of an art of operation or driving art (otherwise difficult to describe mathematically) of one or more human drivers of one or more first vehicles can be transferred to an at least partially automated second vehicle. The method can, for example, also be set up in such a way that it improves the skill objectified according to certain criteria or a human characteristic of an algorithm.

Furthermore, the method enables an at least partially automated third measure, for example in older or less well-equipped second vehicles, based on the information provided by some (possibly only a few) better-equipped first vehicles (vehicles with better sensors, computing resources, more intelligent ones) Algorithms, better learned algorithms, etc.) can be operated. A significant improvement in the performance of the (economically more economical to represent) second vehicles can be achieved.

For example, the number of first vehicles (at least in a statistical view) may include better equipped vehicles, e.g. Vehicles with comparatively better or performant means for performing the at least one measure than the number of second vehicles.

At least one third measure can be carried out in one or more comparatively poorly equipped second vehicles depending on a large number of the first measures in one or more first, comparatively well or better equipped vehicles. In particular, the information provided can be determined or provided predominantly on the basis of the mathematical relationships of comparatively better equipped first vehicles.

• - Ermitteln einer Kennung einer ersten Fahrsituation und/oder Kennung eines ersten Fahrbahnabschnitts bei dem ein vorausbestimmter Zusammenhang zwischen der zumindest einen ersten Maßnahme und der zumindest einen zweiten Maßnahme erkannt wurde, und
• - Verarbeitung der ermittelten Kennung der ersten Fahrsituation und/oder Kennung des ersten Fahrbahnabschnitts in dem entsprechenden mathematischen Zusammenhang oder in der bereitgestellten Information.

According to a further optional embodiment, the method comprises:

• - Determining an identifier of a first driving situation and / or identifier of a first lane section in which a predetermined relationship between the at least one first measure and the at least one second measure was recognized, and
• - Processing the determined identifier of the first driving situation and / or identifier of the first lane section in the corresponding mathematical context or in the information provided.

The identifier of a first driving situation is preferably determined and taken into account in connection with the execution of the at least one first measure in the first vehicle. The said mathematical relationship or the information to be provided based thereon is particularly preferred as a function of the identifier of the specific driving situation and / or identifier of the lane section in which a certain combination, in particular sequence, comprising the at least one first measure and the at least one second measure was recognized ,

For example, the identifier of the at least one first driving situation identifies a specific arrangement pattern and / or movement of the road users in the area surrounding the vehicle. For example, the identifier of the lane section identifies one or more local and / or global position information in connection with a start, one or more specific phases, and / or end of the combination, in particular a sequence of at least one first measure and the at least one second measure.

According to a further optional embodiment, at least one identifier for a street arrangement and / or lane arrangement, in which at least one specific combination of the at least one first measure and the at least one second measure in the first vehicle was recognized, is determined and taken into account.

• - in einer (typisch geformten) Kreuzung, z.B. 2-spurig zu 3-spurig,
• - in einer Kreuzung aus 3 oder 5 Straßen,
• - auf einer bestimmten Spur, z.B. Kennzahl einer Spur, z.B. einer von mehreren Spuren einer Straße oder einer Bewegungsrichtung einer Straße, einer Abbiegespur, eine schnelle bzw. langsame Spur,
• - im Zusammenhang mit der Wechsel der Spur von einer Spur auf eine zweite Spur, wobei die erste Spur und/oder die zweite Spur von einer bestimmten Art der Spur erfolgt.

The at least one said identifier of the road arrangement and / or lane arrangement can indicate that the at least one corresponding first driving situation or a measure related to the first driving situation, for example

• - in a (typically shaped) intersection, e.g. 2-lane to 3-lane,
• - in an intersection of 3 or 5 streets,
• - a fast or slow lane on a specific lane, for example the code number of a lane, for example one of several lanes of a street or a direction of movement of a street, a turning lane,
• - in connection with the change of the track from one track to a second track, the first track and / or the second track taking place from a certain type of track.

The at least one identifier for a street arrangement and / or a lane arrangement can be taken into account in the method as an alternative or in addition to position information. It is advantageous to take into account the street arrangement and / or the lane arrangement because this can also be repeated at different positions. Certain mathematical relationships or sections of information to be provided can thus also be processed on the related road arrangements, in particular lane arrangements, which are recognized in connection with at least one second driving situation. In other words, the information can also be used at other global positions.

According to a further optional embodiment, one or more mathematical relationships or a section of the information to be provided are assigned to a digital map on the basis of the one or more mathematical relationships to position information and / or to one or more data sections.

This has the advantage that the information based on the mathematical context can be used in context, possibly also in the context of the digital map, by the one or more second vehicles (when driving on a corresponding lane section), in particular for executing the at least one second measure can be used particularly effectively or appropriately.

For example, the digital map can be sections of a navigation map, or an appropriately selected or submitted layer of a digital map or a data structure linked to a digital map.

It can be determined and taken into account in the method whether the same or similar second driving situations essentially occur in connection with the same global and / or local position information or not.

According to a further optional embodiment, the selection of a second measure and / or a determination of one or more measure parameters of the second measure is carried out in a second vehicle depending on whether or how often a specific combination, in particular a sequence, results from the at least one first measure and the at least one second measure is repeated essentially at the same position.

For example, information identifying a frequency of the occurrence of the second driving situation in connection with the position information identifying essentially the same position on the basis of a large number of journeys by a number of the first vehicles and taken into account in the method.

In particular, information can be determined and taken into account, which characterizes whether and how often a specific second driving situation has occurred in one or more second vehicles. For example, a distribution of the appearances of a certain driving situation to different vehicles can be determined and taken into account.

• - Erkennen, dass eine zweite Fahrsituation im Zusammenhang mit derselben globalen und/oder lokalen Positionsinformation wiederholt, insbesondere gehäuft auftritt, und daraufhin:
• - Veranlassen einer zweiten Maßnahme, die eine hohe Präzision oder Verlässlichkeit erfordert, und/oder
• - Veranlassen einer zweiten Maßnahme, die eine Beeinflussung der Führung des Fahrzeugs und/oder einen Eingriff in das Fahrwerk des Fahrzeugs umfasst;
• - Erkennen, dass eine zweite Fahrsituation nicht oder insbesondere nicht (bzw. nicht hinreichend) gehäuft im Zusammenhang mit derselben globalen und/oder lokalen Positionsinformation auftritt, und daraufhin:
• - Veranlassen einer (alternativen oder zusätzlichen) zweiten Maßnahme, die keine unmittelbare Beeinflussung der Führung des Fahrzeugs und/oder keinen Eingriff in das Fahrwerk des Fahrzeugs umfasst, und/oder
• - Veranlassen einer zweiten Maßnahme die eine Aufforderung an den Fahrer zur Entscheidung umfasst, und/oder
• - eine Aufforderung an den Fahrer eine bestimmte Beeinflussung der Bewegung des Fahrzeugs, z.B. ein bestimmtes Manöver zumindest teilweise manuell auszuführen oder zu veranlassen.

For example, the process includes:

• Recognizing that a second driving situation occurs repeatedly, in particular frequently, in connection with the same global and / or local position information, and then:
• - initiate a second measure that requires a high degree of precision or reliability, and / or
• - initiating a second measure, which involves influencing the guidance of the vehicle and / or an intervention in the chassis of the vehicle;
• Recognize that a second driving situation does not occur, or in particular does not occur (or not sufficiently) in connection with the same global and / or local position information, and then:
• - initiating a (alternative or additional) second measure which does not directly influence the guidance of the vehicle and / or does not affect the chassis of the vehicle, and / or
• - initiating a second measure which includes an invitation to the driver to make a decision, and / or
• - A request to the driver to at least partially perform or have a certain influence on the movement of the vehicle, for example a certain maneuver.

In other words, the decisions regarding rare combinations of measures can be transmitted to the driver as driver information, a request for a decision and / or a so-called takeover request.

According to a further optional embodiment, a measure of the success of the one or more specific combinations of the measures in one or more first vehicles is determined, and at least initiating, supporting, suppressing or parameterizing at least one measure in a second vehicle is dependent on the one or several determined measures for success in one or more first vehicles determined.

For example, a cluster of a large number of first measures which have been successfully carried out above and above threshold (e.g. above average and / or exceeding a first threshold) and / or which are below threshold (e.g. below average and / or below a second threshold) can be determined.

Said accumulation of subliminal and / or subliminally successfully implemented first measures can also be taken into account in connection with the corresponding position information and / or time information.

For example, an identifier for at least one measure of the success of a large number of at least partially, in particular predominantly manually performed first measures can be taken into account when determining the mathematical relationship or assigned to the corresponding data sections of the mathematical relationship.

• - einer Position und/oder Bewegung in Relation zu einer oder mehreren Spurenmarkierungen, Straßenrand, Einfahrten, kreuzenden Straßen, Kreuzung, Kreisverkehr. Insbesondere eine Abweichung der Position und/oder Bewegung des Fahrzeugs von vorausbestimmten Werten (z.B. Normwerten),
• - einem vertikaldynamischen Einfluss auf das Fahrzeug, insbesondere auf die Fahrgastzelle des Fahrzeugs, z.B. eine überwellige Erschütterung, insbesondere betreffend eine oder mehrere bestimmte, z.B. mehr oder minder erwünschte Frequenzen,

• - Verteilung der Kräfte und/oder Beschleunigungen auf zumindest zwei Räder des Fahrzeugs,
• - Eine auf das Fahrzeug wirkende, z.B. einen bestimmten Schwellwert übersteigende, Beschleunigung, insbesondere Querbeschleunigung und/oder Längsbeschleunigung,
• - Radschlupf, Schleudern, Betriebszustand eines Stabilitätssysteme des Fahrzeugs,

Beispielsweise kann ein Aktivierungszustand von DSC bzw. EPS, etc. auf eine nichterfolgreiche Maßnahme schließen.
Beispielsweise können bestimmte akzeptable / nicht akzeptable Maße des Erfolgs einer ersten Maßnahme und/oder einer zweiten Maßnahme auf Basis des eines oder mehrerer der entsprechenden Indikatoren definiert werden. Ferner kann ein Maß des Erfolgs abhängig vom Ermitteln einer oder mehrerer bestimmten Sequenz und/oder eines oder mehrerer bestimmten Muster aus den entsprechenden Indikatoren ermittelt werden.The degree of success of the at least one first measure and / or a second measure can be determined depending on:

• - a position and / or movement in relation to one or more lane markings, roadside, driveways, crossing streets, intersection, roundabout. In particular, a deviation of the position and / or movement of the vehicle from predetermined values (eg standard values),
• a vertical dynamic influence on the vehicle, in particular on the passenger compartment of the vehicle, for example an undulating vibration, in particular regarding one or more specific, for example more or less desired frequencies,

• Distribution of the forces and / or accelerations on at least two wheels of the vehicle,
• An acceleration acting on the vehicle, for example exceeding a certain threshold value, in particular lateral acceleration and / or longitudinal acceleration,
• - wheel slip, skidding, operating state of a stability system of the vehicle,

For example, an activation state of DSC or EPS, etc. can indicate an unsuccessful measure.
For example, certain acceptable / unacceptable measures of the success of a first measure and / or a second measure can be defined on the basis of one or more of the corresponding indicators. Furthermore, a measure of the success can be determined depending on the determination of one or more specific sequence and / or one or more specific pattern from the corresponding indicators.

• - einer erkannten, auf eine Maßnahme hin (zeitlich oder kausal folgender) Reaktion eines Verkehrsteilnehmers, und/oder
• - einer Veränderung, insbesondere einer (bestimmten) Verbesserung und/oder Verschlechterung einer Anordnung des Fahrzeugs zu einem oder mehreren Verkehrsteilnehmern in seiner Umgebung ermittelt werden.

Furthermore, the at least one measure of the success of the at least one driver action / a first measure can be determined depending on:

• - a recognized reaction of a road user to a measure (temporally or causally following), and / or
• - A change, in particular a (certain) improvement and / or deterioration of an arrangement of the vehicle with one or more road users in its environment are determined.

In this sense, the measure of success can include two or more parameters that relate in particular to at least two different, in particular mutually orthogonal, circumstances (for example: fast / safe, dynamic / smooth).

For example, certain acceptable / unacceptable measures of success can be defined based on one or more of the corresponding indicators. Furthermore, a measure of the success can be determined depending on the determination of one or more specific sequence and / or one or more specific pattern from the corresponding indicators.

In the mathematical context and / or in the information provided, for example linked to the digital map, one or more identifiers are particularly preferably taken into account for the corresponding measure of success. The information to be provided, in particular a section of the information to be provided, can e.g. mark in a graded form how successful e.g. a manual measure initiated or controlled by the driver or at least two variants of one or more first measures in connection with the at least one specific first driving situation, e.g. an identifier of a driving situation. A second measure can then be selected in one or more second vehicles in connection with the same or sufficiently similar second driving situation according to predetermined criteria and / or one or more second measure parameters can be determined.

Particularly preferably, the at least one mathematical relationship can be determined predominantly as a function of the first measures which are carried out (substantially) with above-average success in one or more first vehicles and / or depending on the first measures which are not (1) successful with above-average success in one or more first vehicles. This results in a particularly compact and particularly handy and at the same time meaningful information. This can e.g. read in and taken into account as required by a second vehicle.

If, for example, a first measure initiated by the driver in one or more first vehicles (or a large number of manually initiated measures by a large number of drivers) in one or more first vehicles (based on predetermined criteria, in particular afterwards) was assessed as being above-threshold or above average success this is taken into account as an indication of the initiation of the same, related or similar second measure in one or more second vehicles, in particular in the presence of a second driving situation that is sufficiently similar to the one or more first driving situations.

Was, for example, a driver's first measure manually initiated or carried out in one or more first vehicles in a first vehicle (based on predetermined criteria, especially afterwards) rated as subliminal or below average successful or above average unsuccessful, e.g. not sufficiently effective or counterproductive, or if it brought with it a certain (otherwise) disadvantage in the first vehicle, this can be an indication against the initiation of an identical, related or similar second measure in one or more second vehicles and / or as an indication for determining an alternative, and / or corrective or corrected second measure are taken into account.

In other words, manual drivers, e.g. refer to unsuitable spatial and / or temporal change functions of the vehicle control, in the process automated conclusions to improve automated measures, e.g. improved spatial and / or temporal change functions in a large number of automated vehicles.

Beispielsweise können bestimmte akzeptable / nicht akzeptable Maße des Erfolgs einer ersten Maßnahme und/oder einer zweiten Maßnahme auf Basis des eines oder mehrerer der entsprechenden Indikatoren definiert werden. Ferner kann ein Maß des Erfolgs abhängig vom Ermitteln einer oder mehrerer bestimmten Sequenz und/oder eines oder mehrerer bestimmten Muster aus den entsprechenden Indikatoren ermittelt werden.The degree of success of the one or more specific combinations of measures can be determined depending on:

For example, certain acceptable / unacceptable measures of the success of a first measure and / or a second measure can be defined on the basis of one or more of the corresponding indicators. Furthermore, a measure of the success can be determined depending on the determination of one or more specific sequence and / or one or more specific pattern from the corresponding indicators.

Furthermore, the at least one measure of the success of the at least one driver action / the one or more specific combinations of the measures can be determined depending on:

• - a recognized reaction to a measure (temporally or causally following) of a road user, and / or
• - A change, in particular a (certain) improvement and / or deterioration of an arrangement of the vehicle with one or more road users in its environment are determined.

In this sense, the measure of success can include two or more parameters that relate in particular to at least two different, in particular mutually orthogonal, circumstances (for example: fast / safe, dynamic / smooth).

For example, certain acceptable / unacceptable measures of success can be defined based on one or more of the corresponding indicators. Furthermore, a measure of the success can be determined depending on the determination of one or more specific sequence and / or one or more specific pattern from the corresponding indicators.

According to a further optional embodiment, a third measure comprises influencing the guidance of a second vehicle and a third measure parameter characterizing influencing the guidance of the vehicle in connection with the at least one second driving situation is determined depending on the information based on the mathematical relationship.

In other words, one or more second measure parameters for influencing the guidance of a second vehicle, in particular characterizing a spatial and / or temporal change function of a control variable, can be determined depending on the first measure parameter (s), which in particular one or more spatial and / or temporal change functions identified in connection with one or more first measures in one or more first vehicles. For example, the second measure parameters are determined in such a way that the similarity to the corresponding first measure parameters of a number of the first measures that one or more human drivers in connection with the first driving situations (similar to the current or predicted second driving situation) already corresponds to a first one Measure of success that exceeds the threshold value and / or with a measure of success that falls below a second threshold value, in particular in sufficient quantities.

In particular, in at least one second measure, a change in the orientation, the angle or one or more distances between certain parts of the vehicle and at least one object in the vicinity of the vehicle or a road user can be carried out. Here, for example, a control of a so-called rear wheel steering or a change in the division of the steering angle between the front steering wheels and the rear steering wheels can be carried out. For example, depending on the information provided, an, in particular additional, rear axle steering can be initiated and / or manual or at least partially automated steering of the second vehicle can be divided into front axle steering and rear axle steering.

For example, depending on the recognized or predicted second driving situation and a section of the information provided that is particularly suitable for the current position of the vehicle, a decision can be made between two maneuvers or maneuver variants, for example between the second vehicle moving to the right or the second vehicle moving to the left, to be hit. Depending on the information provided, it is also possible to decide between different types of driving maneuvers.

Furthermore, said maneuver decision also includes refraining from, adjusting, or preventing a specific maneuver or a variant of a maneuver. The maneuver can preferably relate to one or more road users who form part of said second driving situation. For example, depending on the information provided, a decision can be made about the overtaking maneuver in relation to a vehicle in front, and certain change functions of the lateral guidance and / or longitudinal guidance of the vehicle can be determined during the maneuver.

The at least one third measure can be carried out instead of the measure missing in the combination, in particular the sequence. For example, the at least one third measure can be a measure of the same type as the at least one first measure or the at least one second measure.

According to a further optional embodiment, the at least one third measure, which is carried out in a second vehicle depending on the information provided, includes signaling from the second vehicle to the outside, in particular in a specific direction or to a specific road user.

• a content or a content-related characteristic of the signaling,
• a point in time or time interval, intensity, an optical and / or acoustic parameter of the signaling,

For example, depending on the information provided, a specific vehicle can display certain shapes, images, projections, output sound or frequency sequences with certain parameters to the outside.

For example, the second measure parameter can identify the specific, exclusive solid angle range for which an external signaling, in particular a specific external signaling, is to be output.

The signaling from the vehicle to the outside can in particular be a specific, e.g. represent the planned action of the first vehicle or an occupant of the first vehicle and / or a recommended or avoidable action for a road user in the vicinity of the second vehicle. This can be for a certain road user within the second driving situation, e.g. for a crossing vehicle, a vehicle to be overtaken, a pedestrian, cyclist, a road user who plays a certain role within the second traffic situation.

According to a further optional embodiment, a solution space for resolving the at least one second driving situation is determined or changed depending on the information provided, based on a large number of the mathematical relationships.

At least it can a second vehicle, among other things, a possible disadvantage can be avoided by introducing at least one specific solution. In other words, in the process, for example, possible solutions can be excluded, not supported or explicitly suppressed that “no one makes”, ie which have never or never been successful in this form.

For example, the resources, e.g. Computing resources, calculation time for handling the at least one possible solution are also eliminated, or used for treating further, in particular selected possible solutions.

For example, the driver can at least partially suppress, prevent or change the execution of at least one specific solution to a second driving situation depending on the information provided. In particular, depending on a section of the information provided, for example by means of a haptic resistance (for example on an operating element of the vehicle), the driver can be prevented from selecting or executing at least one (of a possible number of) possible solutions.

Depending on the information provided, one of at least two possible solutions can preferably be brought forward and / or adapted. Depending on the information provided, the driver can at least partially support the execution of at least one possible solution. In particular, the driver can be advised (for example by haptic influence) to select, implement and / or change at least one of several possible solutions for resolving the at least one second driving situation, e.g. to correct.

For example, for a position within the route, the position information being characterized in particular by an accumulation of certain first measures (carried out within the last days, weeks, months) that measure the success at least with a certain first threshold value and / or by an accumulation certain first measures (carried out within the last days, weeks, months) which are characterized by a measure of success which falls below a certain second threshold value, information to be provided is determined on the basis of the data of one or more first vehicles, and / or in one or more second vehicles Vehicles are read, especially retrieved and taken into account.

On the basis of a or a suitably selected section of the information provided, e.g. an improved trajectory for the movement of a second vehicle (in relation to the vehicle itself or in relation to a specific part of the vehicle), e.g. in relation to a static object and / or in relation to a road user are determined and taken into account. Such an (improved) trajectory and / or a virtual boundary can relate to certain parts of the vehicle, e.g. refer to one or more wheels of the vehicle or an external dimension of the vehicle.

In this case, driver information that is output in a second vehicle, in particular a parameter for outputting the driver information in the second vehicle, can be determined, for example, characterizing a content, intensity, perception channel of driver information. As a result, the driver information in a second vehicle can be controlled depending on how one or more human drivers were able to deal with one or more, in particular sufficiently similar, first driving situations. For example, depending on the information provided, driver information can be generated or output earlier, later, in a more or less detailed form, more or less intensely (than usual), via one or more (certain) perception channels.

Depending on the information provided, driver information can be generated in one or more second vehicles, which identifies a measure that is above average (particularly in the case of manual execution by a large number of drivers of the first vehicles) ) has proven successful or above average (especially) unsuccessful. As a result, driver information can be generated in a second vehicle that matches the second driving situation (which may also correspond to the occurrence of the second driving situation at a specific position within the driving route) and handling of the second driving situation by the driver of the second vehicle with an increased level of success.

The at least one third measure parameter of the at least one third measure is particularly preferably determined on the basis of the at least one measure parameter of a measure, which have a sufficient degree of similarity with the at least one first measure and / or the at least one second measure.

In 2 Further details on the method for providing information for use in a vehicle can be seen.

With one or more first vehicles 10 . 11 . 12 a combination is detected and / or recognized, in particular a sequence of two or more measures in the first vehicle (block 101 ).

Optionally, a measure of success is determined in connection with the combination or sequence of measures (block 102 ).

If the level of success is above and / or below threshold, a trigger is triggered on a ring buffer (block 104 ) from which a first measure parameter and / or second measure parameter and / or an identifier of the first driving situation, lane section, position is read out and provided.

Depending on these blocks, for example, from a mobile user device 14 If at least one predetermined condition is met, information is provided on the basis of the identifications of the one or more detected combinations, preferably sequences, of the measures for use in a second vehicle, for example another mobile user device 14 ' ,

Between the mobile user devices 14 . 14 ' a comparison, simulation and / or further machine learning can also take place by means of a server, a backend, a cloud or a corresponding service.

Optionally, depending on the detection of at least a section of the combination or sequence in the second vehicle (block 201 ) and an identifier of a second driving situation, road section, position (block 202 ) takes place in the second vehicle 20 . 21 then recognizing a similarity measure to one or more combinations, in particular the sequences of measures (block 203 ). Depending on this, a measure is initiated, supported, suppressed, parameterized, in particular instead of a measure missing or noticeable in the sequence (block 204 ) if necessary depending on a preliminary determination of the probability and / or consequence of a different sequence (block 205 ).

The determined relationships can relate to measures in different parts of the system, e.g. refer to different devices (inside or outside the vehicle) that can interact with one another in different ways, essentially only following local rules of the respective interaction and not or not continuously or not influenced by any central rules (instructions of higher levels).

The information provided can characterize so-called emergent and / or submergent properties of the system comprising at least one device of the first vehicle. For example, based on the information provided, e.g. emergent and / or subemergent information required for the specific or current operation of the second vehicle, e.g. by means of further processing, filtering or aggregation with further data) can be determined and used. For example, depending on information provided (on the basis of one or more first vehicles), one or more identifiers for emergent and / or subemergent properties of a first system can be determined comprising at least one device of a first vehicle. This information can be used to determine, in particular predict, a property and / or the behavior of a second system comprising at least one device of a second vehicle.

An emergent property can be understood as a property that occurs in the system (especially with an incomprehensible frequency), although this does not result from the information about the components of the system (e.g. devices of the vehicle). A submergent property can be understood as a property that does not occur in the system or occurs with an incomprehensibly low frequency, although these would have to occur on the basis of the information on the components of the system (e.g. devices of the vehicle).

The method may be compared with information identifying the one or more devices of the (first) vehicle. On the basis of the comparison, information can be determined (and made available) that cannot be attributed or cannot be directly attributed to the properties of the device of the vehicle or can be attributed to the properties of the device.

As a result of the method, information can be determined and provided (in an efficient and practically feasible manner) which can be obtained by viewing a large amount of information relating to the devices of the vehicle, to a user, e.g. Driver of the vehicle and / or to an environment of the vehicle, which these have in isolation, cannot be determined or cannot be determined adequately. On the basis of the features of the method, comparatively compact, easily communicable information that is provided or to be provided can be generated. This can be done comparatively easily with other data, e.g. data obtained from another group of vehicles is compared in a comparable manner. The method for operating second vehicles that can be driven at least partially in an automated manner can preferably be used in an urban environment. In contrast to a (more or less definable rules following) expressway traffic which can be automated more or less well based on rules, the automation of a driving task in an urban environment may only be possible due to the complexity based on the emergent and / or the subemergent to individual devices of the vehicle Information can be realized with high performance.

With the information provided, a (possibly also complex) system comprising a device of the second vehicle or a traffic system for operating one or more second vehicles (in a desired manner or to a desired extent) can be influenced, in particular controlled. For example, the particular components of the system, e.g. a device of the vehicle, a user e.g. Driver of the vehicle and / or part of the surroundings of the vehicle can be influenced depending on the said information.
