Abstract
A control device for a vehicle, with at least one environment sensor which is designed to detect the surroundings of the vehicle, with a computing device which is designed to detect the position of the vehicle and to operate the environment sensor on the basis of corresponding location-dependent operating parameters.
Claims25
A control device for a vehicle comprising:
- at least one environment sensor to detect the surroundings of the vehicle;
- and
- a computing device which detects a position of the vehicle, assigns a set of location-dependent operating parameters based on the position of the vehicle, and operates the environment sensor based on the corresponding location-dependent operating parameters,
- wherein at least one operating parameter characterizes a functional parameter particularly for a linear conversion function for converting a signal-to-noise ratio into an occupation probability.

A server system comprising:
- a parameter memory which is designed to store at least one of a location-dependent and a time-dependent operating parameter for at least one environment sensor, wherein the location-dependent parameter is associated with an absolute location;
- and
- a first data interface, which is designed to couple the server system to a control device according to one of the above claims in a data communications link,
- wherein one of the at least one location-dependent operating parameter and the time-dependent operating parameter comprises an exposure parameter for controlling camera exposure of a camera coupled to or forming part of the control device.

A vehicle comprising:
- a control device having at least one environment sensor to detect surroundings of the vehicle and a computing device which detects an absolute position of the vehicle, assigns a set of location-dependent operating parameters based on the absolute position of the vehicle, and operates the environment sensor based on the corresponding location-dependent operating parameters;
- and
- a driver assistance system which is designed to control the vehicle at least on the basis of a map provided by the control device,
- wherein one location-dependent operating parameter characterizes a minimum number of object features, necessary for positive identification of an object type by the control device.
