Abstract: A method for controlling a vehicle. In the method, data of a digital road map are read in, zones are determined for the digital road map, and possible sequences of trips along a road of the digital road map are ascertained as a function of the determined zones. Furthermore, it is ascertained, as a function of sensor data and/or current driving data of the vehicle, whether a current or predicted traffic situation is outside the possible sequences or corresponds to a possible sequence that is determined as being outside an intended operating range. If the current or predicted traffic situation is outside the possible sequences or corresponds to the possible sequence outside the intended operating range, a measure is determined and the vehicle is controlled as a function of the measure that is taken.

Abstract: A method and a device for operating an automated vehicle. The method includes determining a collision risk for the automated vehicle originating from a further vehicle, determining an expected collision zone on the automated vehicle as a function of the collision risk, determining a driving strategy as a function of the expected collision zone, and operating the automated vehicle as a function of the driving strategy.
