Abstract
A method and a device for operating an automated vehicle are provided. The method includes a step of receiving a first position of the automated vehicle, a step of receiving environment data values, the environment data values representing an environment of the automated vehicle, a step of detecting at least one further vehicle in the environment of the automated vehicle, and a step of generating a digital environment model, starting from a digital map, based on the environment data values and as a function of the first position of the automated vehicle. The environment model comprises the automated vehicle, the at least one further vehicle, and at least one simulated object in the environment of the automated vehicle. The method also includes a step of operating the automated vehicle as a function of the digital environment model.
