Abstract
In a method for reducing risks in road traffic, using a motor vehicle an information signal is generated and transmitted to an analysis unit. The information signal contains a position of the corresponding motor vehicle and an associated hazard level. Using the analysis unit, the position is assigned to a route section and a risk characteristic value is determined as a function of the hazard level. Using the analysis unit, a risk signal is generated based on the risk characteristic value and provided to at least one traffic participant.
