1. A method for providing an event message indicative of an imminent event for a vehicle, the method comprising:

  • receiving event messages indicative of at least one event preceding the imminent event, the event messages indicative of at least one event preceding the imminent event representing signals output by a first plurality of mobile terminals in response to the at least one event preceding the imminent event;

    receiving event messages indicative of at least one event subsequent to the imminent event, the event messages indicative of at least one event subsequent to the imminent event representing signals output by a second plurality of mobile terminals in response to the at least one event subsequent to the imminent event;

    receiving a first event message, the first event message representing a signal output by a first mobile terminal device of a first vehicle in response to the imminent event;

    receiving a second event message, the second event message representing a signal output by a second mobile terminal device of a second vehicle in response to the imminent event;

    generating an aggregated event message on the basis of the first event message and the second event message;

    combining the received event messages indicative of at least one event preceding the imminent event with the received event messages indicative of at least one event subsequent to the imminent event to determine a maximum possible count of event messages indicative of the imminent event;

    ascertaining a plausibility value to check the plausibility of the aggregated event message, the ascertaining including comparing the maximum possible count of event messages to an actual count of event messages indicative of the imminent event, the plausibility value being ascertained based on the result of the comparing; and

    outputting the aggregated event message and the plausibility value, the aggregated event message and the plausibility value representing a signal receivable from at least one mobile playback device of the vehicle.
