BACKGROUND To stop a bus at e.g. a bus stop today is almost exclusively done manually, which means that it is -Waren itself that affects how the experience for the passengers becomes when the vehicle is decelerated and steered towards the refueled stop.

When driving a bus in city traffic, there are often other vehicles and / or people and consequently a lot of movement in the immediate vicinity of the bus. In this case, it will be difficult for the bus driver to be aware of all possible risks when the bus is to stop.

At hallways with high curbs and in so-called BRT traffic (where BRT stands for Bus Rapid Transit, ie fast bus public transport) it is also required that the bus, without taking in, is stopped near the curb / platform and also in the raft position for a long time for things getting on and off.

It is edge, for example through the document "PATH demonstrates bus rapid transit technologies" that through a vehicle-controlled stop-stop process during which the bus is automatically controlled precision dock the bus.

Referring to Fig. 4, a diagram of an embodiment of a device 500 is shown. The controller 100 described with reference to Fig. 2 may in one embodiment include the device 500. The device 500 includes a non-volatile memory 520, a data processing unit 510, and a load The write non-volatile memory 520 has a first memory portion 530 of a computer program, such as an operating system, stored to control the operation of the device 500. Further, the device 500 includes a bus controller, a serial communication port. , I / O means, an ND converter, a time and 5 date input and transfer unit, a trade calculator and an interrupt controller (not shown). The non-volatile memory 520 also has a second memory portion 540.

A computer program P is provided which includes routines for stopping the travel of a motor vehicle according to the innovative procedure. The program P includes routines for activating a vehicle-controlled stop-stop process during which the vehicle is controlled automatically. The program P includes routines for controlling the travel stop process during male supervision to a passenger perspective, including male supervision of passenger comfort measures. The program P can be stored in an executable manner or in a compressed manner in a memory 560 and / or in a read / write memory 550.

When it is described that the data processing unit 510 performs a certain function, it should be understood that the data processing unit 510 performs a certain part of the program which is stored in the memory 560, or a certain part of the program which is stored in the read / write memory 550. The data processing device 510 can communicate with a data port 599 via a data bus 515. The non-volatile memory 520 is intended for communication with the data processing unit 510 via a data bus 512. The separate memory 560 is intended to communicate with the data processing unit 510 via a data bus 511. The read / write memory 550 is arranged to communicate with the data processing unit 510 via a data bus 514. To the data port 599, e.g. the links connected to the control unit 100 are connected.

When data is received on the data port 599, it is temporarily stored in the second memory part 540. Once the received input data has been temporarily stored, the data processing unit 510 is ready to perform code execution in a manner 23 described above. The received signals on the data port 599 can be used by the device 500 to activate a vehicle-controlled travel stop course during which the vehicle is automatically controlled. The received signals on the data port 599 can be used by the device 500 to control the stop-and-go process during male observation to a passenger perspective including male observation for passenger comfort surveillance.

Parts of the methods described herein may be performed by the device 500 using the data processing unit 510 which runs the program stored in the memory 560 or read / write memory 550. When the device 500 runs the program, the methods described herein are executed.

The above description of the preferred embodiments of the present invention has been provided for illustrative and descriptive purposes. It is not intended to be exhaustive or to limit the invention to the variations described. Obviously, many modifications and variations will occur to those skilled in the art. The embodiments have been selected and described in order to best explain the principles of the invention and its practical applications, thereby enabling one skilled in the art to understand the invention for various embodiments and with the various modifications which are appropriate to the intended use. 24
