Abstract
A method provides an operating strategy for a target vehicle which is located together with other foreign vehicles on a track section of a road track. A communication unit of the target vehicle or of an external data server is connected to a respective communication unit of the foreign vehicles via an ad-hoc network, in particular via a car-to-X communication. A foreign vehicle communicates a position signal and/or an information to an operating parameter. A processing unit determines the positions of the foreign vehicles and can determine a digital model for a current traffic situation in the track section using information related to the operating parameter. The digital model describes the track section and the foreign vehicles located thereon and serves as a basis for an operating strategy for operating the target vehicle. A driving recommendation produces a model output for the driver or triggers automatic driving.

15. A method for providing an operating strategy for a destination vehicle situated on a route section of a route together with alien vehicles, comprising:
-
receiving position signals respectively from the alien vehicles, each position signal indicating a position of one of the alien vehicles, the position signals being received at a communication device of a processing device, the communication device being connected to respective transmitters of the alien vehicles via a car-to-X ad hoc network; dividing, at the processing device, the route section into different subsections based on traffic information from different regions of the route section, the route section being divided based on traffic information selected from the group consisting of volume of traffic, average speed and recommended speed for the destination vehicle; using the position signals at the processing device to ascertain the respective positions of the alien vehicles; using the positions of the alien vehicles at the processing device to ascertain a digital model for a current traffic scenario in the route section, the digital model for the current traffic scenario being obtained from the traffic information for the subsections, the digital model for the current traffic scenario describing the route section and the alien vehicles situated on the route section; and using the digital model for the current traffic scenario at the processing device to ascertain the operating strategy for operating the destination vehicle on the route section. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33)

34. A processing apparatus for a destination vehicle situated on a route section of a route together with alien vehicles, comprising:
-
a communication device to receive position signals respectively from the alien vehicles, each position signal indicating a position of one of the alien vehicles, the communication device being connected to respective transmitters of the alien vehicles via a car-to-X ad hoc network; and a processing device to; divide the route section into different subsections based on traffic information from different regions of the route section, the route section being divided based on traffic information selected from the group consisting of volume of traffic, average speed and recommended speed for the destination vehicle; use the position signals to ascertain the respective positions of the alien vehicles; use the positions of the alien vehicles to ascertain a digital model for a current traffic scenario in the route section, the digital model for the current traffic scenario being obtained from the traffic information for the subsections, the digital model for the current traffic scenario describing the route section and the alien vehicles situated on the route section; and use the digital model for the current traffic scenario to ascertain the operating strategy for operating the destination vehicle on the route section. - View Dependent Claims (35)
