Abstract

An apparatus for detecting a traffic participant includes a first detection device for detecting the traffic participant in a first detection zone. The first detection device is configured to repeatedly detect the first detection zone and to detect an entering of a traffic participant in the first detection zone, and/or to detect the traffic participant in an angular section in an extended first detection zone beyond the first detection zone according to an instruction. The apparatus also includes a second detection device that detects the traffic participant in a second detection zone, and is adapted to provide data required for instruction about the traffic participant in response to the detection of the traffic participant and to forward it to the first detection device for instruction. This way, the traffic participant may be detected by the first detection device before entering the first detection zone.
