Abstract
A method for determining a suitability of a route including a plurality of sections for traveling on by a driver of a vehicle. The method has a step of determining a fatigue prediction value, which predicts a fatigue of the driver of the vehicle for at least one section of the route. The method also has a step of carrying out a comparison of the fatigue prediction value to a maximum fatigue value that is assigned to the at least one section of the route. Finally, the method has a step of weighting the route with a fatigue weighting that is a function of the comparison, in order to determine the suitability of the route for traveling on by the driver.
