  • Method for providing a clearance for use of a hard shoulder by means of a monitoring system, and monitoring system
    Patent number: 12367759
    Abstract: A method for providing a clearance for use of a hard shoulder of a road for motor vehicles involves detecting the hard shoulder using a detection device and an occupancy state of the hard shoulder is determined based on the basis of the detection. The clearance using the hard shoulder is provided based on the occupancy state and a decision criterion by means of a motor-vehicle-external, central electronic computing device of the monitoring system. The hard shoulder is detected by at least one detection device of a motor vehicle travelling on the road and the detected hard shoulder is transmitted to the central electronic computing device for evaluation. The occupancy state regarding at least one dynamic object on the hard shoulder is determined.
