Methods for the infrastructure-supported assistance of a motor vehicle

A method for the infrastructure-supported assistance of a motor vehicle in an at least partially automated driving task, comprising the following steps:

• receiving environment signals that represent an environment of the motor vehicle;
• analyzing the environment to ascertain an analysis result, wherein the analyzing includes:
• (i) an object recognition to detect an object in the environment of the motor vehicle, and/or (ii) a free space recognition to recognize an occupancy of an area in the environment of the motor vehicle to ascertain an occupancy status that indicates whether the area is free or occupied, wherein the analysis result indicates:
• (i) whether an object has been detected in the environment of the motor vehicle, and/or (ii) the ascertained occupancy status of the area in the environment of the motor vehicle;
• generating infrastructure assistance data signals that represent infrastructure assistance data for the infrastructure-supported assistance of the motor vehicle in an at least partially automated driving task, based on the analysis result;
• and
• outputting the infrastructure assistance data signals.

A method for the at least partially automated guidance of a motor vehicle, comprising the following steps:

• receiving infrastructure assistance data signals that represent infrastructure assistance data for the infrastructure-supported assistance of the motor vehicle in an at least partially automated driving task, wherein the infrastructure assistance data include:
• (i) an analysis result that indicates:
• (a) whether an object has been detected in the environment of the motor vehicle, and/or (b) an occupancy status of an area in the environment of the motor vehicle, and/or (ii) one or more changes in relation to a prior analysis result that indicated:
• (a) whether an object had been detected in the environment of the motor vehicle, and/or (b) an occupancy status of an area in the environment of the motor vehicle;
• generating control signals for the at least partially automated control of a lateral and/or longitudinal guidance of the motor vehicle based on the infrastructure assistance data signals;
• and
• outputting the generated control signals.

A device configured for the infrastructure-supported assistance of a motor vehicle in an at least partially automated driving task, the device configured to:

• receive environment signals that represent an environment of the motor vehicle;
• analyze the environment to ascertain an analysis result, wherein the analyzing includes:
• (i) an object recognition to detect an object in the environment of the motor vehicle, and/or (ii) a free space recognition to recognize an occupancy of an area in the environment of the motor vehicle to ascertain an occupancy status that indicates whether the area is free or occupied, wherein the analysis result indicates:
• (i) whether an object has been detected in the environment of the motor vehicle, and/or (ii) the ascertained occupancy status of the area in the environment of the motor vehicle;
• generate infrastructure assistance data signals that represent infrastructure assistance data for the infrastructure-supported assistance of the motor vehicle in an at least partially automated driving task, based on the analysis result;
• and
• output the infrastructure assistance data signals.

A non-transitory machine-readable storage medium on which is stored a computer program for the infrastructure-supported assistance of a motor vehicle in an at least partially automated driving task, the computer program, when executed by a computer, causing the computer to perform the following steps:

• receiving environment signals that represent an environment of the motor vehicle;
• analyzing the environment to ascertain an analysis result, wherein the analyzing includes:
• (i) an object recognition to detect an object in the environment of the motor vehicle, and/or (ii) a free space recognition to recognize an occupancy of an area in the environment of the motor vehicle to ascertain an occupancy status that indicates whether the area is free or occupied, wherein the analysis result indicates:
• (i) whether an object has been detected in the environment of the motor vehicle, and/or (ii) the ascertained occupancy status of the area in the environment of the motor vehicle;
• generating infrastructure assistance data signals that represent infrastructure assistance data for the infrastructure-supported assistance of the motor vehicle in an at least partially automated driving task, based on the analysis result;
• and
• outputting the infrastructure assistance data signals.
