Abstract

A method for processing at least one parameter of a trip or an event of a vehicle for a vehicle. The method includes at least one step of reading in, one step of mapping and one step of providing. In the step of reading in, a driving parameter signal is read in, which represents at least the parameter of the trip or of the event of the vehicle. In the step of mapping, the driving parameter signal is mapped by using a linear representation in order to obtain mapped driving parameter coefficients. In the step of providing, the mapped driving parameter coefficients are provided.
