Abstract
A method for monitoring a vehicle system configured to detect an environment of a vehicle, wherein the vehicle system has a sensor system with at least two sensor units configured to capture the environment of the vehicle, and an evaluation unit configured to detect objects in the environment of the vehicle by merging sensor data of the at least two sensor units. The method includes, for each of the detected objects, using sensor data to determine separately for each of the at least two sensor units a probability of existence indicating a probability of the detected object representing a real object, and a probability of detection indicating a probability with which the detected object can be captured by the sensors. The method includes determining whether the vehicle system is in a robust state based on the probability of existence and the probability of detection.
