1. A method for merging, by a controller of a vehicle sensor system, ambient sensor data with communication data, the method comprising:

  • capturing, by at least one ambient sensor in the vehicle, ambient sensor data;

    receiving, by a vehicle-to-X communication means in the vehicle, communication data;

    selecting, by the controller of the vehicle sensor system, during a preprocessing process;

    a first portion of the communication data, and supplying the first portion of the communication data directly to a sensor data merging process that merges the first portion of the communication data with ambient sensor data to produce an environment model, anda second portion of the communication data, and supplying the second portion of the communication data to a data management process; and

    wherein the selected communication data including at least one of the first portion or the second portion are provided with a data marking by the preprocessing process,wherein heterogeneous application processes that receive information forwarded both by the sensor data merging process and by a data management process identify redundantly forwarded information by the data marking, andcontrolling, by the controller of the vehicle sensor system, a safety system of the vehicle by controlling an application of the safety system based on the environment model and/or data output from the data management process.
