Abstract
Technologies and techniques relating to a vehicle include receiving a first message from a traffic infrastructure element, the first message being based on a first sensor value obtained by the traffic infrastructure element. A second sensor value, corresponding to the first sensor value, is obtained, and a second message, based on the second sensor value, is transmitted to the traffic infrastructure element. Additionally, technologies and techniques are provided for a traffic infrastructure element, as well as a vehicle and a traffic infrastructure element configured to implement the respective functionalities.
Claims21
1-10. (canceled)
A method for a vehicle, comprising:
- receiving a first message from a traffic infrastructure element, the first message being based on a first sensor value obtained by the traffic infrastructure element;
- obtaining a second sensor value corresponding to the first sensor value;
- and
- transmitting a second message to the traffic infrastructure element, the second message being based on the second sensor value.
A method for a traffic infrastructure element, comprising:
- transmitting a first message to at least one vehicle, the first message being based on a first sensor value obtained by a sensor of the traffic infrastructure element;
- and
- receiving a second message from the at least one vehicle, the second message being based on a second sensor value obtained by the at least one vehicle and corresponding to the first sensor value.
A vehicle, comprising:
- a sensor configured to obtain a sensor value;
- a communication module configured for wireless communication with a traffic infrastructure element;
- and
- a control device configured to:
- receive a first message from the traffic infrastructure element, the first message being based on a first sensor value obtained by the traffic infrastructure element;
- obtain a second sensor value via the sensor, the second sensor value corresponding to the first sensor value;
- and transmit a second message to the traffic infrastructure element via the communication module, the second message being based on the second sensor value.
The vehicle of claim 26, wherein the first message includes sensor-based information regarding a plurality of vehicles, and the control device is further configured to:
- obtain vehicle-specific information based on the first message;
- and determine the variance based on the vehicle-specific information and the second sensor value.
