Abstract
A method is for controlling a vehicle in a depot. The method includes: allocating a three-dimensional target object to the vehicle; detecting a three-dimensional object in the environment around the vehicle and determining depth information for the detected three-dimensional object; classifying the detected three-dimensional object on the determined depth information and checking whether the determined three-dimensional object has the same object class as the three-dimensional target object; identifying the detected three-dimensional object if the determined three-dimensional object has the same object class as the three-dimensional target object by detecting an object identifier assigned to the three-dimensional object and checking whether the detected object identifier matches a target identifier assigned to the target object; outputting an approach signal to move the vehicle closer to the detected three-dimensional target object in an automated manner or manually if the object identifier matches the target identifier.
