Abstract: Methods, computer programs, apparatuses, a transportation vehicle, and a control center for resolving a deadlock traffic situation of a transportation vehicle. The method includes detecting the deadlock traffic situation, reporting the deadlock traffic situation to a control center, entering a tele-operated driving session in coordination with the control center, determining information on an identification of the deadlock traffic situation in coordination with the control center, forwarding the information on the identification of the deadlock situation to other transportation vehicles, and resolving the deadlock traffic situation using tele-operation by the control center.

Abstract: A method for determining a high-density platooning (HDPL) driving maneuver which includes selecting an HDPL closing maneuver, and selecting an HDPL opening maneuver. Closing maneuver means a maneuver with which the inter-vehicle distance between platoon members is decreased. Opening maneuver means a maneuver with which the inter-vehicle distance between platoon members is increased. The method also includes testing the selected HDPL maneuvers in terms of energy consumption taking into account a predicted quality of service (QoS) of a vehicle-to-vehicle V2V communication link for the communication between the platoon members. In response to the selected HDPL driving maneuvers not fulfilling the test criteria, the method waits a time and then selects an HDPL closing maneuver and an HDPL opening maneuver and tests the newly chosen HDPL maneuver again.

Abstract: Methods, computer programs, apparatuses, a transportation vehicle, and a traffic entity for updating an environmental model at a transportation vehicle. The method for a transportation vehicle and for updating an environmental model of the transportation vehicle includes obtaining an environmental model of the transportation vehicle, the environmental model having static and dynamic objects in the environment of the transportation vehicle along at least a part of the trajectory of the transportation vehicle; assigning information related to correctness probabilities at least to dynamic objects of the environmental model; determining at least one dynamic object for which the information related to the correctness probability indicates a correctness probability below a threshold; and transmitting a broadcast message to the environment to request further information on the at least one dynamic object.

Abstract: A transportation vehicle, a traffic control entity, a method, a computer program, and an apparatus for adapting a speed of transportation vehicles in a platoon. The method for adapting a speed of transportation vehicles in a platoon includes obtaining information related to a future course of required minimum inter-vehicular distances of the transportation vehicles of the platoon. The method also includes adapting a speed of the transportation vehicles of the platoon based on the information related to the future course of the required minimum inter-vehicular distances and a fuel consumption of the transportation vehicles of the platoon.

Abstract: A method for supporting a first mobile station to predict the channel quality for a planned decentralized wireless communication to a communication partner station which includes sending to the first mobile station from a second mobile station a report about the channel quality measured at the second mobile station. This report includes at least one information entry about the channel quality measured by the second mobile station at a position for a communication to or from a third mobile station indicated in the report. The first mobile station benefits from the historical channel quality measurements of the second transportation vehicle. The accuracy of the channel quality prediction is thus increased.

Abstract: Technologies and techniques for a remote control center and for operating a vehicle from remote. Information is obtained on a pQoS of a communication link between the remote control center and the vehicle. At least one driving command is then provided to the vehicle via the communication link and a range of the at least one driving command is adapted, based on the information on the pQoS.

Abstract: A transportation vehicle, a traffic control entity, a method, a computer program, and an apparatus for determining a minimum inter-vehicular distance for a platoon. The method for determining a minimum inter-vehicular distance for a platoon of transportation vehicles obtains information related to a predicted quality of service (pQoS) of communication links between the transportation vehicles of the platoon; a speed of the transportation vehicles of the platoon; and one or more maximum decelerations of the transportation vehicles of the platoon. The method also uses a functional relationship between the pQoS, the speed, the one or more maximum decelerations, and an inter-vehicular distance to determine the minimum inter-vehicular distance.

Abstract: An apparatus, method and computer program for predicting a future quality of service of a wireless communication link based on a predicted future environmental model t predicted by determining a trajectory of active wireless transceivers. The method includes determining an environmental model of active transceivers in the environment of the mobile transceiver, determining information on a trajectory of the active transceivers, determining a predicted future environmental model of the active transceivers at a point in time of the future based on the information on the trajectory of the active transceivers, and predicting the future quality of service of the wireless communication link for the point in time of the future using a machine-learning model. The machine-learning model provides information on a predicted quality of service for a given environmental model. The predicted future environmental model is used as input to the machine-learning model.
