1. An apparatus for identifying overrun condition phases of a vehicle, the apparatus comprising:
- a processing unit operatively configured to receive and process altitude position data of a section of road that is being traveled on or is to be traveled on by the vehicle, said processing unit calculating a prediction about a probable occurrence of future overrun condition phases of the vehicle taking into account the received altitude position data.

Abstract
A device is provided for identifying overrun phases of a vehicle in advance. The device includes at least one processing unit, which processes altitude position data of a route that is traveled by a vehicle or will be traveled by a vehicle and calculates a prediction of the probable occurrence of future overrun phases of the vehicle, taking into consideration the altitude position data.

31. A method for operating a vehicle, the method comprising the acts of:
-
receiving altitude position data relative to a road section that is being traveled upon by the vehicle or is to be traveled upon by the vehicle; and calculating in a processing unit a prediction about an expected occurrence of future overrun condition phases of the vehicle as a function of said altitude position data. - View Dependent Claims (32, 33, 34)
