1. An apparatus for determining a driving situation of a vehicle to be monitored, comprising:
- a provider configured to provide measurement values, wherein the provider is configured to obtain the measurement values at non-equidistant sampling instants, wherein the measurement values comprise information relating to the driving situation of the vehicle to be monitored;
an evaluator configured to evaluate a plurality of the measurement values with respect to a measure indicating a temporal variation of the plurality of measurement values;
a comparator configured to compare the measure indicating the temporal variation of the plurality of measurement values with a predetermined comparison parameter, wherein the comparator is further configured to output a first comparison signal when the measure indicating the temporal variation of the plurality of measurement values falls below the predetermined comparison parameter, or wherein the comparator is further configured to output a second comparison signal when the measure indicating the temporal variation of the plurality of measurement values reaches or exceeds the predetermined comparison parameter, wherein the first comparison signal or the second comparison signal indicate the driving situation of the vehicle.

24. A method for determining a driving situation of a vehicle to be monitored, comprising:
-
providing measurement values from a sensor, wherein the measurement values are obtained at non-equidistant sampling instants, wherein the measurement values comprise information relating to the driving situation of the vehicle to be monitored; evaluating a plurality of the measurement values with respect to a measure indicating a temporal variation of the plurality of measurement values using an evaluation circuit; and comparing, using a comparator circuit, the measure indicating the temporal variation of the plurality of measurement values to a predetermined comparison parameter to generate and output a first comparison signal when the measure indicating the temporal variation of the plurality of measurement values falls below the comparison parameter, or to generate and output a second comparison signal when the measure indicating the temporal variation of the plurality of measurement values reaches or exceeds the comparison parameter, wherein the first comparison signal or the second comparison signal indicates the driving situation of the vehicle.

25. A non-transitory computer readable medium comprising a computer program with a program code for performing, when running on a computer, a method for determining a driving situation of a vehicle to be monitored, comprising:
-
providing measurement values, wherein the measurement values are obtained at non-equidistant sampling instants, wherein the measurement values comprise information relating to the driving situation of the vehicle to be monitored; evaluating a plurality of the measurement values with respect to a measure indicating a temporal variation of the plurality of measurement values; and comparing the measure indicating the temporal variation of the plurality of measurement values to a predeterminable comparison parameter to generate and output a first comparison signal when the measure indicating the temporal variation of the plurality of measurement values falls below the comparison parameter, or to generate and output a second comparison signal when the measure indicating the temporal variation of the plurality of measurement values reaches or exceeds the comparison parameter, wherein the first comparison signal or the second comparison signal indicate the driving situation of the vehicle, wherein the computer program runs on a computer.
