Abstract
An embodiment of the present invention improves traffic safety in the field of aviation and in the field of shipping, and also in road traffic. In at least one embodiment, a method achieves this by determining at specified intervals a current position and a current direction, retrieving geographical description data for at least one exclusion zone or one danger area from a control center and from this data, by way of a warning condition, issuing at least one warning message, provided the warning condition has been fulfilled. In at least one embodiment, the warning condition is selected in such a way that intrusion into the at least one exclusion zone or one danger area can be securely prevented by way of an appropriate counter maneuver.
