Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2022207045A1] The invention relates to a method and a warning device for warning a following vehicle (42) on a defined roadway section (10) about an obstacle (36), wherein a plurality of ego-trajectories (14) of ego-vehicles (12) which move on the roadway section (10) in a first time interval [t1; t2] are captured and a first swarm trajectory (30) is calculated therefrom and is stored together with a first timestamp (T1). Similarly, a second swarm trajectory (38) is calculated from ego-trajectories (14) of ego-vehicles (12) which move on the roadway section (10) in a second time interval [t3; t4], the second time interval [t3; t4] being temporally offset to the first time interval [t1; t2]. The second swarm trajectory (38) too is stored together with a second timestamp (T2), whereupon a difference between the first swarm trajectory (30) and the second swarm trajectory (38) and an associated difference magnitude (│∆ x │) are calculated. If said difference magnitude (│∆ x │) is greater than a predefined threshold value (xs), it is recognized that there is an obstacle (36) on the roadway (10) and consequently a warning signal (40) is output to a following vehicle (42). The invention also relates to a corresponding warning device designed to carry out the method.
