An intelligent rescue method applied to a vehicle-mounted device and an airborne rescue device to enable semi-automatic warning and rescue of a broken-down, crashed, drowned, or stranded vehicle, enables communication between the vehicle-mounted device and the rescue device. The vehicle-mounted device determines by sensors a type of emergency of a vehicle, and performs a first assistance action and sends the rescue device a distress signal corresponding to the type of the emergency of the vehicle. The rescue device receives the distress signal and takes off from an initial position of the vehicle to a target position in response to the distress signal. Once the rescue device reaches the target position, the rescue device performs a second action for assistance.

The invention provides a warning sign device. The warning sign device comprises a sign body and a continuous track assembly. The continuous track assembly is disposed on the sign body.

In some embodiments, an apparatus, comprises an unmanned vehicle configured to be disposed with a vehicle and a processor operatively coupled to the unmanned vehicle. The processor is configured to receive a first signal indicating a stop of the vehicle without a user request and a second signal indicating a location of the vehicle. The processor is configured to determine, based on the location of the vehicle, a target location in a pre-defined area surrounding the vehicle. The processor is configured to send a third signal to the unmanned vehicle to instruct the unmanned vehicle to move to the target location to alert other vehicles via a warning regarding occurrence of the stop.

A device comprising an organic light-emitting diode comprising an organic layer sequence, a radiation exit area and an encapsulation, wherein the organic layer sequence comprises at least one radiation-emitting region which generates electromagnetic radiation in the spectral range from infrared radiation to UV radiation during operation, and wherein the encapsulation forms a seal of the organic layer sequence against environmental influences, at least one touch-sensitive operating element, wherein the at least one touch-sensitive operating element comprises at least one touch sensor, wherein the device is flexible.

The present invention relates to a mechanically expandable and collapsible traffic warning device safety marker comprising a base member, a controllable linear motion machine assembly and a battery with its connecting components which are contained within the base member, a collapsible body member, and an actuator switch member. The controllable linear motion machine assembly is controlled by an actuator switch member that enables the collapsible body member to mechanically collapse and expand upon user interaction. The controllable linear motion machine assembly mechanically retracts the collapsible body member to a nested position within the base member for compaction upon the user pressing the actuator switch member resulting in the mechanically expandable and collapsible traffic warning device safety marker to be easily stored within a compartment of a vehicle and mechanically expanding the expandable and collapsible body member conveniently to a ready for application condition.

A method of operating an incursion warning system for a work zone, the incursion warning system comprising: a plurality of sensor units arranged about a perimeter of the work zone; and a plurality of alarm units each comprising one or more of an audio, visual or haptic alarm operable to warn a workforce of a potential danger in response to a detected breach into the work area; the method comprising: establishing a geo-zone delimiting a geographical area that includes at least part of the work zone; and a set of rules associated with the geo-zone; deriving an instruction for one of the alarm units determined to be in the geo-zone from the set of rules based on a characteristic of the alarm unit and a characteristic(s) of one or more other alarm units determined to be within the geo-zone; and wherein the instruction is derived in response to a change in a characteristic of the alarm unit and/or the one or more other alarm units and/or one or more of the sensor units within the geo-zone.

A method and device, for a vehicle that at times is automatically guided by an autonomous guidance in which an intervention by the driver is not required, includes a continual checking of whether the automatic vehicle guidance is able to be maintained in the future or whether it must be terminated. In the event that the automatic vehicle guidance must be terminated, the vehicle is transitioned into a stopping procedure. A standstill position of the vehicle in the stopping process is pre-calculated and a warning triangle mounted on the vehicle is launched, so that the warning triangle is positioned at a predefined minimum distance from the standstill position.

A module system for a motor vehicle includes at least one camera pod adapted to be mounted to the motor vehicle at least temporarily extending to the outside and/or from an exterior surface, with said camera pod including at least one camera and at least one port for fitting at least one modular peripheral device and/or adapter of a peripheral device; and at least one interface module adapted to be mounted to the motor vehicle at least temporarily extending into the inside and/or being accessible from the inside, with the interface module being electrically connected to the at least one camera pod. A rear view device and a motor vehicle include the at least one module system.
