At least for a portion of the positions of the monitoring region, the current waiting time of one or a plurality of the identified objects situated at the corresponding positions is assigned. Furthermore, the positions with assigned waiting times are classified into a plurality of classes, wherein each of the classes corresponds to a continuous waiting time range.
