  • Determining one or more characteristic values and simulating traffic for an autonomously trafficable environment
    Patent number: 11507717
    Abstract: A method of determining one or more characteristic values for an environment automatically trafficable by vehicles comprises the steps: providing a spatially resolving, electronically usable representation of the environment; providing parameters that describe properties of vehicles and of the traffic in the environment; simulating the traffic in the environment with reference to the electronically usable representation of the environment and with reference to the parameters provided; in the simulation, detecting and counting events of interest, detecting and counting events of interest, determining the characteristic values with reference to the counter result, and outputting and/or storing the characteristic value.
