Abstract
A method and a device are provided for calibrating a plurality of environment sensors in a vehicle. Traffic light signals are detected and identified from the data of at least one environment sensor or from data received by a car-2-X communication unit. A calibration of the plurality of environment sensors is activated and performed in response to a determination that a traffic light signal pertaining to the vehicle has turned red.
