Original Abstract Submitted
A method for the infrastructure-supported, at least partially automated, guidance of a motor vehicle. The method includes: receiving environment signals; analyzing the environment to ascertain an analysis result, the analyzing including an object recognition in order to detect an object in the environment of the motor vehicle, and/or a free space recognition in order to recognize an occupancy of an area in the environment of the motor vehicle to ascertain an occupancy status that indicates whether the area is free or occupied; generating infrastructure assistance data signals that represent infrastructure assistance data for the infrastructure-supported, at least partially automated guidance of the motor vehicle, based on the analysis result; and outputting the infrastructure assistance data signals.
