Abstract
Processing position data relating to a vehicle, in order to determine the start of a search for a parking space, includes determining an end position and determining at least one inefficiency value by comparing at least part of a drive with at least one linear distance to the end position, wherein the at least one inefficiency value identifies an inefficiency of the drive. The process further includes determining at least one route inefficiency value based on position data from a map to verify an identified inefficiency for at least one position for which an inefficiency has been identified. Parking space search traffic can then be output, as detected, if there is a route inefficiency.
