The invention relates to a method for monitoring an integrity of a system by an monitoring system, comprising the steps of: Performing at least one hard constraint integrity check and depending on the hard constraint integrity check generating a Boolean value about the hard constraint integrity check by an electronic computing device of the monitoring system; Performing at least one soft constraint integrity check and depending on the soft constraint integrity check generating a floating P-value about the soft constraint integrity check by the electronic computing device; Generating a consensus value by rejecting outliers of the P-value and fusing non-outlier P-values to the consensus value by an estimator of the electronic computing device; and Monitoring the integrity depending on the Boolean value and the consensus value by the electronic computing device. Furthermore, the invention relates to a computer program product, as well as to a monitoring system.

A method for evaluating suitability route sections of a digital map storing landmarks for automated driving operation of a vehicle is provided. For each route section of the digital map a spatial density of landmarks is determined, an expected recognizability of the landmarks is determined by a vehicle sensor system under predetermined ambient conditions, a classification is performed based on the determined density and recognizability of the landmarks as to whether a vehicle can be located on the route section with a minimum accuracy required for a predetermined operating mode and/or for a predetermined driving maneuver, and a classification result is stored as a data record in a route attribute associated with the route section, the route attribute indicating for which of the predetermined operating modes and/or driving maneuvers requirements for the minimum accuracy of the landmark-based vehicle localization are met under which of the predetermined environmental conditions.
