Abstract

A vehicle is located on a digital map, with objects being stored in the digital map in a georeferenced manner. From a set of these objects stored in a georeferenced manner in the digital map, which are currently being detected by the environment sensor, the object most distant from the environment sensor is identified and a current sensor range of the environment sensor is determined on the basis of the distance of the environment sensor from the object.
