Abstract
A method provides an operating strategy for a target vehicle which is located together with other foreign vehicles on a track section of a road track. A communication unit of the target vehicle or of an external data server is connected to a respective communication unit of the foreign vehicles via an ad-hoc network, in particular via a car-to-X communication. A foreign vehicle communicates a position signal and/or an information to an operating parameter. A processing unit determines the positions of the foreign vehicles and can determine a digital model for a current traffic situation in the track section using information related to the operating parameter. The digital model describes the track section and the foreign vehicles located thereon and serves as a basis for an operating strategy for operating the target vehicle. A driving recommendation produces a model output for the driver or triggers automatic driving.
