AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Existing infrastructure-supported assistance systems for motor vehicles inefficiently use bandwidth and processing capacity by transmitting unnecessary infrastructure assistance data, and fail to efficiently communicate the availability of infrastructure support to vehicles, leading to potential errors in communication and assistance.

Method used

A method involving the use of heartbeat messages sent at regular intervals, where infrastructure assistance data is included only when necessary, allowing vehicles to determine the need for support and optimizing data transmission based on the vehicle's environment and requirements, using sensors to detect and process relevant information for reduced data transmission.

Benefits of technology

This approach ensures efficient use of bandwidth and processing capacity, allows vehicles to anticipate communication availability, and enables timely adjustments in automated driving scenarios, such as requesting driver intervention or reducing speed, thereby enhancing safety and efficiency.

Abstract

The invention relates to a method for the infrastructure-based assistance of a motor vehicle during a journey through an infrastructure, comprising the following steps: determining whether the motor vehicle requires infrastructure-based assistance for its journey through the infrastructure, wherein if the motor vehicle requires infrastructure-based support for its journey through the infrastructure, the method comprises the following steps: determining infrastructure assistance data for the journey of the vehicle through the infrastructure, generating a heartbeat message comprising the determined infrastructure assistance data and sending the heartbeat message, comprising the determined infrastructure assistance data, to the motor vehicle, wherein if the motor vehicle does not require infrastructure-based assistance for its journey through the infrastructure, the method comprises the following steps: generating a heartbeat message without infrastructure assistance data and sending the heartbeat message without infrastructure assistance data to the vehicle. The invention relates to a device, a system, a computer program and a machine-readable storage medium.
