Abstract

A method for determining the speed of a vehicle equipped with at least one surround sensor that determines environment data of the vehicle relative to at least one motionless object includes: receiving, by the vehicle, through wireless vehicle-to-environment communication with the at least one motionless object, a transmitted piece of information about the motionlessness of the motionless object; determining the relative motion of the vehicle with respect to the motionless object from the environment data of the vehicle relative to the motionless object; and determining the speed of the vehicle and/or the relative position of the vehicle with respect to the motionless object from the determined relative motion.
