Abstract
Technologies and techniques for the lateral control of a vehicle. Environment data of a vehicle is detected when travelling a route, and stored environment data, detected when travelling the route by a plurality of other vehicles not currently travelling the route, is received. The plausibility of the stored environment data is checked on the basis of the environment data detected. Lateral control of the vehicle is executed on the basis of the environment data checked for plausibility.
Claims20
A method for laterally controlling a vehicle, comprising:
- detecting environment data of a vehicle while traveling a path;
- receiving stored environment data that was detected, while traveling the path, by a plurality of other vehicles that have traveled the path previously in time relative to the vehicle, wherein the stored environment data comprises swarm data;
- checking the plausibility of the stored environment data based on a configured deviation threshold value determined from a comparison of variables between the stored environment data and the detected environment data;
- and
- executing a lateral control of the vehicle based on the checked environment data.
A system for laterally controlling a vehicle, comprising:
- a detection device for detecting environment data of the vehicle;
- and
- a control device, operatively coupled to the detection device, wherein the detection device and/or control device are configured to
- detect environment data of a vehicle while traveling a path;
- receive stored environment data that was detected, while traveling the path, by a plurality of other vehicles that have traveled the path previously in time relative to the vehicle, wherein the stored environment data comprises swarm data;
- check the plausibility of the stored environment data based on a configured deviation threshold value determined from a comparison of variables between the stored environment data and the detected environment data;
- and
- execute a lateral control of the vehicle based on the checked environment data.
Computer program instructions for laterally controlling a vehicle, which, when executed by a detection device and control device of the vehicle, cause the control device to:
- detect environment data of a vehicle while traveling a path;
- receive stored environment data that was detected, while traveling the path, by a plurality of other vehicles that have traveled the path previously in time relative to the vehicle, wherein the stored environment data comprises swarm data;
- check the plausibility of the stored environment data based on a configured deviation threshold value determined from a comparison of variables between the stored environment data and the detected environment data;
- and
- execute a lateral control of the vehicle based on the checked environment data.
