Abstract
A method is disclosed for controlling at least one vehicle moving at least partially autonomously within an operating environment. One trigger device is designed within the operating environment for triggering a stop signal for stopping the at least one vehicle. A computing device allocated to the operating environment receives the stop signal of the triggered trigger device and determines a set of vehicles to be stopped by evaluating positional data describing the position of the triggered trigger device and the position of the at least one vehicle. The computing device orders the at least one vehicle to stop depending on the evaluation result.
