Abstract
The invention relates to a method for controlling a sensor system () for a vehicle (), comprising at least one or two sensors () which have respective detection regions () and metrologically detect changes in these detection regions () and emit them as measured signals (), a control unit (), especially in the form of a microprocessing unit which is connected to the sensors (), the control unit () evaluating the measured signals () and generating at least one control signal () based thereon, at least one memory () in which at least the last control signal () is stored, and an interface () via which the control unit () forwards at least the last control signal to an external control module (). At least one measured signal () of a sensor () is detected by the control unit () in a number of measurement steps (--) and the control unit () transmits at least the last control signal () to the external control module () via the interface () between the individual measurement steps (--).
