Abstract

A device and method for the establishment of quality parameters of a digital map. A currently determined position of the vehicle and a measured value of an attribute of this position is used to calculate a quality parameter which serves as additional information for the data of the digital map. A driver assistance system constitutes an improved aid for a driver of a vehicle, since, in addition to the data of the digital map, the driver assistance system uses the feedback information of the quality parameter.
