Abstract

A method for processing sensor data in a number of controllers in a controller complex. The controllers are connected to at least one sensor via at least one communication bus, wherein the sensor data of the at least one sensor are processed by at least two different controllers in stages. At least one processing stage is concordant in the two controllers or is equivalent to the other stage at least in so far as the results of the processing are converted into one another by a conversion. Provision is made for a preprocessing unit to which the sensor data of the at least one sensor are supplied, wherein the processing of the sensor data in the at least one concordant processing stage is performed in the preprocessing unit, and the processed sensor data are forwarded to the at least two different controllers for individual further processing.
