DETECTION OF MALFUNCTIONS IN THE IDENTIFICATION OF A SWITCHING STATE OF LIGHT SIGNAL SYSTEMS

摘要

The invention relates to a method for checking the plausibility of a functional capability of a camera assembly having at least two cameras for determining a switching state of a light signal system by means of a control unit, wherein a first switching state of the light signal system is determined on the basis of measurement data of a first camera, a second switching state of the light signal system is determined on the basis of measurement data of at least one second camera, and the first switching state and the second switching state are used to check the plausibility of a functional capability of the camera assembly. The switching states can, but do not have to, be identified simultaneously by the two cameras for the plausibility check. The switching states can instead be identified at different times, for example because the light signal system has shifted out of the viewing range of one camera in the meantime. The invention also relates to a control unit, a vehicle, a computer program and a machine-readable storage medium.
