1. A method for processing data for an automated vehicle, comprising:
- operating at least two processing units, the at least two processing units being monitored by a monitoring device having at least two self-monitoring monitoring units;
carrying out defined monitoring of the at least two processing units with the aid of the at least two self-monitoring monitoring units, a master functionality of the at least two self-monitoring monitoring units being assumed only by a first one of the at least two self-monitoring monitoring units and not by any others of the at least two self-monitoring monitoring units, wherein each of the at least two self-monitoring monitoring units monitors all of the at least two processing units, the monitoring by each of the at least two self-monitoring monitoring units including receiving result data from each of the at least two processing units and comparing the received result data to one another to determine whether the received result data are identical to each other; and
in the event of a fault of the first one of the at least two self-monitoring monitoring units carrying out the master functionality, the master functionality is taken over by a second one of the at least two self-monitoring monitoring units which is downstream of the first one of the at least two self-monitoring monitoring monitoring units so that only the second one of the at least two self-monitoring monitoring units assumes the master functionality and none of the others of the at least two self-monitoring monitoring units assumes the master functionality;
wherein the master functionality includes triggering the at least two processing units to synchronize them.

Abstract
A method for processing data for an automated vehicle, including operating at least two processing units, the at least two processing units being monitored by a monitoring device having at least two self-monitoring monitoring units. Defined monitoring of the processing units is carried out with the aid of the at least two monitoring units. A master functionality of the monitoring units is assumed by a defined monitoring unit. In the event of a fault of the monitoring unit carrying out the master functionality, the master functionality is taken over by a downstream monitoring unit.

7. A device for processing data for an automated vehicle, comprising:
-
at least two processing units; at least two monitoring units with the aid of which the at least two processing units are monitored; wherein a master functionality is assumed only by a first one of the at least two monitoring units and not by any others of the at least two monitoring units, wherein each of the at least two monitoring units monitors all of the at last two processing units, the monitoring by each of the at least two monitoring units including receiving result data from each of the at least two processing units and comparing the received result data to one another to determine whether the received result data are identical to each other, and in the event that the first one of the at least two monitoring unit assuming the master functionality is faulty, the master functionality is taken over by a second one of the at least two monitoring units which is downstream of the first one of the monitoring units so that only the second one of the at least two monitoring units assumes the master functionality and none of the others of the at least two monitoring units assumes the master functionality; wherein the master functionality includes triggering the at least two processing units to synchronize them. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10)

11. A non-transitory computer-readable data carrier on which program code is stored, the program code for processing data for an automated vehicle, the program code, when executed on an electronic monitoring device, causing the electronic monitoring device to perform:
-
operating at least two processing units, the at least two processing units being monitored by a monitoring device having at least two self-monitoring monitoring units; carrying out defined monitoring of the at least two processing units with the aid of the at least two self-monitoring monitoring units, a master functionality of the at least two self-monitoring monitoring units being assumed only by a first one of the at least two self-monitoring monitoring units and not by any others of the at least two self-monitoring monitoring units, wherein each of the at least two self-monitoring monitoring units monitors all of the at least two processing units, the monitoring by each of the at least two self-monitoring monitoring units including receiving result data from each of the at least two processing units and comparing the received result data to one another to determine whether the received result data are identical to each other; and in the event of a fault of the first one of the at least two self-monitoring monitoring units carrying out the master functionality, the master functionality is taken over by a second one of the at least two self-monitoring monitoring units which is downstream of the first one of the at least two self-monitoring monitoring units so that only the second one of the at least two self-monitoring monitoring units assumes the master functionality and none of the others of the at least two self-monitoring monitoring units assumes the master functionality; wherein the master functionality includes triggering the at least two processing units to synchronize them. - View Dependent Claims (12)
