Method and Device for Recognizing Marked Hazard Areas and/or Construction Areas in the Region of Lanes
First Claim
1. A method of recognizing marked hazard and/or construction areas in an area of traffic lanes, wherein objects indicating the hazard and/or construction areas are recognized by at least one environment sensor, characterized in thata traffic light system is recognized by the environment sensor,positional data of the traffic light system is determined,an environment scenario regarding an environment structure is determined from environment data detected by the environment sensor and is compared with a reference model of the environment scenario, andif said reference model indicates no traffic light system or indicates a traffic light system having positional data differing from the positional data of the recognized traffic light system, a conclusion is drawn about a traffic light system identifying a hazard and/or construction area.

Abstract
The invention relates to a method for recognizing marked hazard areas and/or construction areas in the region of lanes, in which method by means of at least one environment sensor the objects indicating hazard areas and/or construction areas are detected. According to the invention a traffic light system is detected by means of the environment sensor, the positional data of the traffic light system is determined, an environment scenario in respect of the environment structure is determined from the environment data detected by the environment sensor and is compared with a reference model of the environment scenario. If said reference model indicates no traffic light system or indicates a traffic light system having positional data differing from the positional data of the detected traffic light system, a conclusion is drawn about a traffic light system identifying a hazard and/or a construction area.
