Abstract (en)

[origin: EP1962257A1] The method involves determining a current position (11) and a current direction (12) at specified intervals in a transport device (1). Geographical description data is retrieved for an exclusion zone and a danger area from a control center (40) via a communication unit (15). Collision calculation (20) is performed for the zone and area for the determined position, direction and the data. A warning message (23) is issued upon receiving a warning condition, where the condition is selected to prevent intrusion into the zone and the danger area by way of appropriate counter maneuvering. An independent claim is also included for a device for improving traffic safety of a transport device.
