1. A method for the automated driving of a transportation vehicle, the method comprising:
at least one control unit calculating a trajectory for the automated transportation vehicle, wherein control commands for actuators for adjusting longitudinal and lateral guidance of the automated transportation vehicle are calculated for the calculated trajectory;
implementing the calculated control commands for the trajectory by actuators of the automated transportation vehicle;
updating the actuator control commands periodically at specified points in time by calculating a current emergency trajectory to bring the automated transportation vehicle to a standstill at each of the specified points in time, and calculating a set of control commands for at least one of the actuators of the transportation vehicle to adjust at least the lateral guidance for the current calculated emergency trajectory for the transportation vehicle; and
updating the actuator control commands of the current trajectory in response to detection of communication failure to communicate the control commands for the current trajectory between a plurality of components of the automated transportation vehicle,
wherein the updated actuator control commands calculated and updated in response to detection of current trajectory control command failure between the plurality of components of the automated transportation vehicle are automatically implemented by the at least at least one actuator of the transportation vehicle actuators to adjust at least the lateral guidance for the current calculated emergency trajectory in response to the failure of the control commands for the current trajectory.
