Abstract:
A method for providing a piece of occupant information for a safety unit for a vehicle includes reading in image data representing an occupant of the vehicle via an interface to an image recording unit of the vehicle, reading in plausibility check data representing a person via an interface to a mobile device, a step of determining occupant data characterizing the occupant using the image data and the plausibility check data, and a step of providing the occupant data to an interface to the safety unit for the vehicle.
Abstract:
A method for controlling an occupant protection system of a vehicle includes reading in at least one vehicle acceleration value representing an acceleration of the vehicle and at least one model parameter of an occupant model by which a vehicle occupant is represented by at least two, in particular three, mass points. The vehicle acceleration value and the model parameter are processed in order to determine at least one motion parameter relating to the two, in particular three, mass points. Using the motion parameter, a control signal for controlling the occupant protection system is produced.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a battery support arrangement (12) for a vehicle (10), with a battery-holding element (14) for receiving a battery (16), a guide arrangement (18) by means of which the battery-holding element (14) is mounted movably relative to the vehicle (10), and with coupling elements which are designed to couple the earth-receiving element (14) to a vehicle structure connected fixedly to the vehicle (10) and/or at least partially to decouple the battery-holding element from the vehicle structure, wherein the coupling elements have an actuator (22) which is designed to adjust the degree of the coupling and/or the temporal profile of the coupling.
Abstract:
A device for changing the rigidity of a vehicle includes: at least one frame side member; and an adaptive element having at least two fastening points, one of the at least two fastening points being connected to the at least one frame side member. The adaptive element is aligned transversely to the at least one frame side member, and the adaptive element has an actuator including an interface for receiving a triggering signal for operating the actuator. The actuator is configured to change the rigidity of the adaptive element in response to the triggering signal.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a battery retaining device, comprising a guide device which is designed to receive a vehicle battery; at least one retaining element which is designed to rigidly retain a vehicle battery received in the guide device in a mechanical manner up to a first maximum retaining force value in a first operating state and to rigidly retain the vehicle battery received in the guide device in a mechanical manner up to a second maximum retaining force value in a second operating state; and an actuator system with at least one actuator which is designed to bring the at least one retaining element from the first operating state to the second operating state.
Abstract:
A control device for an object coupling device of a vehicle is configured to actuate a dampening device of the object coupling device such that an object moved by an inertial force from a fixing position along a specified target route to a target impact component of the vehicle can be delayed. The control device is additionally configured to determine a target operating mode of the dampening device from at least two executable operating modes of the dampening device having a different time difference between an exit time of the object from the fixing position and an insert time of a delay of the object to be executed by the dampening device and to control the dampening device into the target operating mode via the at least one control signal.

Abstract:
A method for activating an emergency braking function of a vehicle. At least one restraint unit is activated in the process for restraining at least one occupant of the vehicle in response to an identification of an imminent triggering of the emergency braking function, using at least one sensor signal of at least one sensor of the vehicle. The triggering of the emergency braking function takes place when the restraint unit is activated.
Abstract:
A method for a vehicle, by which it is determined whether a further vehicle located in the surroundings of the vehicle is operated in an at least semi-automated manner. The method includes detecting at least one parameter of the further vehicle and determining, on the basis of the at least one parameter, whether the further vehicle is operated in an at least semi-automated manner.
Abstract:
The invention relates to an earth-coupling arrangement (12) for a vehicle (10), with an earth-receiving element (14) for receiving an earthing object (16), a guide arrangement (18) by means of which the earth-receiving element (14) is mounted movably relative to the vehicle (10), and with coupling means (20) which are designed to couple the earth-receiving element (14) to a vehicle structure connected fixedly to the vehicle (10) and/or at least partially to decouple said earth-receiving element from the vehicle structure, wherein the coupling means (20) have an actuator (22) which is designed to adjust the degree of the coupling and/or the temporal profile of the coupling.
