1. A sensor device for a vehicle for detecting a road user in a vehicle environment comprising:

  • a communication signal transmitted by the road user;

    a first antenna and a second antenna to receive the communication signal with a phase displacement therebetween;

    a processor to determine a transmission direction of the communication signal on the basis of the phase displacement between the communication signal received at the first antenna and the communication signal received at the second antenna; and

    a distance sensor to capture angle-dependent distance measured variables of the vehicle environment;

    wherein the processor determines a position of the road user on the basis of the transmission direction of the communication signal and of the angle-dependent distance measured variables of the vehicle environment;

    a communication interface connected to the first antenna and the second antenna to receive and process the communication signal received at the first antenna and the second antenna respectively;

    wherein the communication interface is one of;

    a Bluetooth communication interface, a Bluetooth communication interface with Low Energy Standard, and an ultra-wideband communication interface; and

    wherein the communication signal is designed according to a corresponding communication standard.
