Abstract

A method for evaluating measurement data that are obtained by a plurality of sensors. The method includes: the measurement data originating from sensors of a first group are processed by a function evaluation module to form a function signal that, when it is supplied to a driving dynamics system of a vehicle, causes the driving dynamics system to carry out a driving task; the measurement data originating from a second group of sensors are processed by at least a first safety evaluation module to form a first safety signal that, when it is supplied to the driving dynamics system, causes the driving dynamics system to prevent a specified undesired event of the vehicle, the second group containing a proper subset of the first group; the function signal is aggregated with the first safety signal to form a control signal that is capable of being outputted to the driving dynamics system.
