Method for determining a trajectory for a mobile device

Abstract

A method is disclosed for determining a trajectory, according to which a mobile device is intended to move in the surroundings along one or multiple possible specified movement paths. The method includes providing a set of different monitoring zones, wherein each of the different monitoring zones respectively defines an area around the mobile device in which area the mobile device monitors or is intended to monitor the surroundings. A monitoring zone configuration, each comprising a predetermined monitoring zone of the set of different monitoring zones, is assigned to the mobile device according to a specified assignment criterion depending on a velocity of the mobile device. The method also includes providing a permissibility criterion indicating a permissible monitoring zone from the set of different monitoring zones. The method further includes determining a sequence of critical velocities for the mobile device based on the set of different monitoring zones. The critical velocities each indicate a maximum permissible velocity for the mobile device for a respective monitoring zone configuration. In addition, the method includes determining the trajectory based on the sequence of critical velocities and based on the permissibility criterion, in particular as part of an optimization. Further, the method includes providing the trajectory, and in particular causing the mobile device to move according to the trajectory.
