Method for providing result data that depend on a motor vehicle environment
First Claim
1. A method for providing, from an infrastructure device to a receiving motor vehicle, result data that depend on a motor vehicle environment of the receiving motor vehicle, comprising:
- determining, by the infrastructure device, an incompleteness of detected areas of the motor vehicle environment using sensor data from at least one infrastructural sensor device;
selecting, by the infrastructure device, at least one selected motor vehicle that has at least one sensor device, wherein the at least one sensor device detects at least a part of the motor vehicle environment, wherein the selecting is performed in response to determining the incompleteness of detected areas, and wherein the method further comprises;
transmitting, by the infrastructure device, a query message to the at least one selected motor vehicle; and
receiving, by the infrastructure device, further sensor data detected by the at least one sensor device, or processing data determined from the further sensor data by a processing device of the at least one selected motor vehicle, in response to transmitting the query message, the further sensor data describing at least the part of the motor vehicle environment;
determining, by the infrastructure device, the result data from available data comprising at least one of;
the sensor data of the at least one infrastructural sensor device, the further sensor data of the at least one selected motor vehicle, and the processing data of the at least one selected motor vehicle; and
transmitting, by the infrastructure device, the result data to the receiving motor vehicle.

Abstract
A method and apparatus are described for providing result data, which relate to a motor vehicle environment with an infrastructure device, for guiding a receiving motor vehicle through an infrastructure presenting a complex traffic situation. At least one motor vehicle having at least one sensor device is selected by the infrastructure device. The sensor device of the selected motor vehicle detects sensor data, which describe at least part of the motor vehicle environment. The infrastructure device transmits a query message to the selected motor vehicle. The selected motor vehicle transmits the sensor data to the infrastructure device in response to the query message. The infrastructure device determines result data from the sensor data and provides the result data to the receiving motor vehicle.
