Abstract
The present invention relates to a method for correction of a signal of at least one sensor, on the basis of which a path curve can be determined, on which the vehicle is moving, with the vehicle having a device by means of which the environment of the vehicle can be identified, and with the correction of the signal of the at least one sensor being carried out in that, at at least one point in time, the object location expected at at least one further point in time of an object which is identified as being stationary is determined on the basis of the vehicle speed and of the signal of the at least one sensor, and in that, at the at least one further point in time, the object location of the object which is identified as being stationary is recorded, with a correction of the signal of the at least one sensor being carried out on the basis of the discrepancy between the expected object location and the recorded object location.
