Abrégé

A method for operating a motor vehicle with an internal combustion engine, comprising a combustion engine and an exhaust line with an exhaust aftertreatment system. At least one environmental emission of an exhaust component or multiple exhaust components, contained in the exhaust gas generated by the combustion engine, is determined. If a limitation threshold value for the environmental emission of the exhaust component or at least one of the exhaust components is exceeded, the operation of the combustion engine is limited with respect to the deliverable power. If a warning threshold value for the environmental emission of the exhaust component or at least one of the exhaust components, which is lower than the limitation threshold value, is exceeded, a warning message is triggered and/or the operation of the internal combustion engine is adapted in a power-neutral manner such that the environmental emission of the exhaust component is reduced.

Abrégé

A method and an assistance system support a lane change by a motor vehicle. In the method, objects detected by a rearward-directed environment sensor system are each assigned to a direction lane of a road on which the motor vehicle is travelling. The direction lane assignment is classified as stable when no switch has occurred for at least a predefined time-period in the object-specific direction lane assignments. A classification as unstable is made as soon as such a switch occurs. As-long-as the direction lane assignment is classified as stable, a lane change by the motor vehicle from the currently travelled lane to an adjacent lane is supported taking into account only objects assigned to this adjacent lane. If a safe lane change is possible in view of the objects taken into account according to a predefined position criterion, this is signaled automatically to support the lane change.

Abrégé

A method for determining the standardized sooting tendency of a substance mixture and representative indices for calculating an overall sooting tendency. The sooting tendency is determined using gas-chromatographic component analysis of hydrocarbon types and oxygenates of a substance mixture, in particular of a fuel or of an additive via a reformulyzer analysis. A standardized total yield sooting index) of substance mixtures according to YSITotal=ΣYSIi·Vi/100 is determined, wherein the volumetric proportion (Vi) of each reformulyzer subgroup (i) is multiplied by that of the yield sooting index (YSIi) associated with the reformulyzer subgroup (i), according to which the determined values are summated to the total yield sooting index (YSITotal). Furthermore, method variants are described for determining yield sooting indices (YSIi-M, YSIi-Mid, YSIi-GewM) representing the yield sooting index (YSIi) associated with the subgroups (i).

The disclosure relates to a method and a driver assistance system for assisted reversing with a vehicle-trailer combination, wherein it is initially driven forwards, wherein a corresponding forward trajectory is stored and, by means of a sensor system of the towing vehicle, objects arranged laterally next to the forward trajectory are detected. A reversing trajectory, which deviates as little as possible from the driven forward trajectory, and, for each vehicle of the trailer, a vehicle-specific reversing corridor corresponding to the planned reversing trajectory are planned. The detected object in each case is classified as a collision object if it lies in at least one of the planned reversing corridors. In such a case, a new reversing trajectory and, for each vehicle, a new reversing corridor that is free of collision objects is generated. The trailer is then reversed along the new reversing trajectory with the aid of the driver assistance system.

A reversing trajectory, which deviates as little as possible from the driven forward trajectory, is planned. The detected object is classified as a collision object if it lies in the planned reversing trajectory. In such case, a new reversing trajectory that is free of collision objects is generated. The trailer is reversed along the new reversing trajectory. A current deviation of an actual reversing trajectory of the trailer from the new reversing trajectory is thereby determined, and when the current deviation is greater than a permissible limit deviation, the trailer is stopped to allow performing a corrective action. The assisted reversing is resumed after corrective action has been performed.

Abrégé

The disclosure relates to a method and to a server apparatus and to a motor vehicle for automatically mapping a surrounding area. In the method, the server apparatus creates a route network map of the surrounding area from odometry data from a fleet of respective motor vehicles. The server apparatus generates a mapping plan for mapping sections of the surrounding area. The mapping plan divides the surrounding area into multiple subareas and defines at least one subarea that is still to be mapped. The fleet vehicles are then iteratively instructed to collect surroundings data in accordance with the mapping plan only for subareas that are still to be mapped and to transmit said surroundings data to the server apparatus, and the mapping plan is accordingly updated based on the received surroundings data in order to avoid collecting and transmitting redundant surroundings data for subareas that have already been mapped.
