1. A method for assessing a road type on which a vehicle travels, the method comprising the acts of:
- receiving, by an electronic computing apparatus, environment data based on a sensor measurement;
assessing, in the electronic computing apparatus, the road type using a decision tree based on the received environment data;
assessing, in the electronic computing apparatus, the road type using a state machine based on the received environment data;
forming, in the electronic computing apparatus, an overall assessment of the road type based on the assessment using the decision tree and the assessment using the state machine; and
outputting, from the electronic computing apparatus, the overall assessment to a driver assistance function of the vehicle.

Abstract
A method for assessing a road type is carried out by an electronic computation apparatus. The method includes the steps of: reception of environment data based on a sensor measurement; assessment of the road type using a decision tree based on the environment data; assessment of the road type using a state machine based on the environment data; and formation of an overall assessment of the road type based on the assessment using the decision tree and the assessment using the state machine.
