Abstract

A process and an arrangement for shutting down a vehicle by means of a shut-down signal is the result of a shut-down request. During a vehicle-side analysis, a conclusion is drawn from a current vehicle operating condition and/or a current vehicle location according to defined criteria regarding a shut-down site which is safe with respect to traffic and/or a traffic-safe shut-down site is recognized, in which case the shut-down signal is not generated before the current vehicle operating condition represents a traffic-safe shut-down site and/or before the current vehicle location corresponds to a traffic-safe shut-down site.
