Concept for assisting a motor vehicle

A method for infrastructure-based assistance of a motor vehicle driven in an at least semi-automated manner within a parking facility using a system including:

• a parking facility management system configured to operate the parking facility, the operation including a planning of a drive of the motor vehicle driven in an at least semi-automated manner within the parking facility to ascertain planning data corresponding to the planning,
• a first base unit implemented as an edge device installed as part of the parking facility and communicatively linked to the parking facility management system, the first base unit being connected to at least one surroundings sensor situated within the parking facility in surroundings of the first base unit detecting a first area of the parking facility, the first base unit being configured to ascertain first infrastructure assistance data for the infrastructure-based assistance of the motor vehicle driven in an at least semi-automated manner within the parking facility based on surroundings sensor data of the surroundings sensors representing the detected first area and based on the planning data, wherein the first base unit is connected to a subset of the surroundings sensors located in a surroundings region of the first base unit, and wherein the first base unit is configured to receive the planning data from the parking facility management system and ascertain the first infrastructure assistance data locally based on the surroundings sensor data and the received planning data, and
• at least one wireless communication interface configured to transmit the ascertained first infrastructure assistance data to the motor vehicle,
• wherein the method includes the following steps:
• operating the parking facility using the parking facility management system, the operation including the planning of the drive of the motor vehicle driving in an at least semi-automated manner within the parking facility to ascertain the planning data corresponding to the planning,
• ascertaining, using the first base unit, first infrastructure assistance data for the infrastructure-based assistance of the motor vehicle driven in an at least semi-automated manner within the parking facility based on the surroundings sensor data and the planning data;
• and
• transmitting the ascertained first infrastructure assistance data to the motor vehicle using the at least one wireless communication interface.

A non-transitory machine-readable memory medium on which is stored a computer program for infrastructure-based assistance of a motor vehicle driven in an at least semi-automated manner within a parking facility using a system including:

• a parking facility management system configured to operate the parking facility, the operation including a planning of a drive of the motor vehicle driven in an at least semi-automated manner within the parking facility to ascertain planning data corresponding to the planning,
• a first base unit implemented as an edge device installed as part of the parking facility and communicatively linked to the parking facility management system, the first base unit being connected to at least one surroundings sensor situated within the parking facility in surroundings of the first base unit detecting a first area of the parking facility, the first base unit being configured to ascertain first infrastructure assistance data for the infrastructure-based assistance of the motor vehicle driven in an at least semi-automated manner within the parking facility based on surroundings sensor data of the surroundings sensors representing the detected first area and based on the planning data, wherein the first base unit is connected to a subset of the surroundings sensors located in a surroundings region of the first base unit, and wherein the first base unit is configured to receive the planning data from the parking facility management system and ascertain the first infrastructure assistance data locally based on the surroundings sensor data and the received planning data, and
• at least one wireless communication interface configured to transmit the ascertained first infrastructure assistance data to the motor vehicle,
• wherein the computer program, when executed by a computer, causing the computer to perform the following steps:
• operating the parking facility using the parking facility management system, the operation including the planning of the drive of the motor vehicle driving in an at least semi-automated manner within the parking facility to ascertain the planning data corresponding to the planning,
• ascertaining, using the first base unit, first infrastructure assistance data for the infrastructure-based assistance of the motor vehicle driven in an at least semi-automated manner within the parking facility based on the surroundings sensor data and the planning data;
• and
• transmitting the ascertained first infrastructure assistance data to the motor vehicle using the at least one wireless communication interface.
