A method for displaying a target vehicle opening fore zone for a potential, future vehicle user of an automated vehicle by a controller, the method comprising:
- identifying the potential, future vehicle user located outside of the automated vehicle;
- and
- indicating to the potential, future vehicle user the target vehicle opening fore zone by at least one actuator of the automated vehicle that is actuatable by the controller during a journey to the potential, future vehicle user before a stopping position of the automated vehicle is reached and after the potential, future vehicle user located outside of the automated vehicle is identified.
A control apparatus for displaying a target vehicle opening fore zone (240) for a potential, future vehicle user (220) of an automated vehicle (200) comprising
- at least one sensor (110) for identifying the potential, future vehicle user (220) of the automated vehicle (200) outside of the automated vehicle (200),
- a vehicle opening fore zone display module (130) for indicating the target vehicle opening fore zone (240) for the potential, future vehicle user (220) during the journey to the potential, future vehicle user (220) before the automated vehicle (200) reaches a stopping position (250), and
- a controller (100), by means of which the signals of the sensor (110) are evaluable and by means of which the vehicle opening fore zone display module (130) is actuatable.
