Abstract
Disclosed is an electronic control device of a first vehicle configured to carry out a method of: checking a trajectory of the first vehicle, which trajectory is planned cooperatively with a second vehicle, with respect to a potential safety-critical traffic situation by means of a checking apparatus of the first vehicle on the basis of sensor information from at least one sensor of the first vehicle and/or on the basis of object data from a fusion of sensor information from at least two sensors of the first vehicle; and outputting a signal for initiating a safety measure or executing the planned trajectory depending on a result of the check.
Claims17
A method to be carried out by an electronic control device of a first vehicle, comprising the steps of:
- checking a trajectory of the first vehicle, which trajectory is planned cooperatively with a second vehicle, with respect to a potential safety-critical traffic situation, by a checking apparatus of the first vehicle based on sensor information from at least one sensor of the first vehicle and/or based on object data from a fusion of sensor information from at least two sensors of the first vehicle;
- and
- outputting a signal for initiating a safety measure or executing the planned trajectory depending on a result of the check.
An electronic control device for a first vehicle, comprising:
- a checking apparatus, configured to carry out a check of a planned trajectory of the first vehicle with respect to a potential safety-critical traffic situation of the first vehicle based on sensor information from at least one sensor of the first vehicle and/or based on object data from a fusion of sensor information from at least two sensors of the first vehicle, wherein the planned trajectory was received via a vehicle-to-X communication device of the first vehicle;
- and
- a signal interface, configured to output a signal for initiating a safety measure or executing the planned trajectory depending on a result of the check.
