SYSTEM FOR AUTOMATICALLY MONITORED VEHICLE STATUS SIGNALLING AND METHOD FOR MONITORING A VEHICLE STATUS SIGNALLING DEVICE

摘要

The invention relates to a system for monitored vehicle status signalling, in particular for monitored signalling of an activated, at least partially automated driving mode status of a motor vehicle and to a method for automatically monitoring a vehicle status signalling device. In addition to the system and the method, the invention further relates especially to a monitoring device for carrying out the method, to a computer program configured for carrying out the method, to a vehicle status signalling device and to a vehicle, in particular a motor vehicle, equipped with the system. In the method, a first control signal is transmitted to the vehicle status signalling device, which is configured for putting an associated signal generator of the vehicle status signalling device into a deactivated state. Subsequently, checking of a current actual operational state of the signal generator takes place. If the check reveals that, in spite of the transmitted control signal, the signal generator is in an activated operational state, at least one predetermined error-countering action associated with the result of the check is triggered.
