Method for controlling an automated mobile unit and method for emitting a piece of hazard information

A method for controlling and/or evacuating a mobile unit operated in an automated manner, the method comprising:

• receiving a signal from an external source, which encompasses a piece of hazard information;
• providing automated control of the mobile unit based on this piece of hazard information, the control taking place so that the mobile unit is guided to a safe position for the mobile unit;
• and
• automatically guiding the mobile unit based on the piece of hazard information and/or a received all-clear signal and/or a received guidance signal, the automatic guidance taking place so that the mobile unit is guided to a starting position of the mobile unit.

An apparatus for controlling and/or evacuating a mobile unit operated in an automated manner, comprising:

• a device configured to perform the following:
• receiving a signal from an external source, which encompasses a piece of hazard information;
• providing automated control of the mobile unit based on this piece of hazard information, the control taking place so that the mobile unit is guided to a safe position for the mobile unit;
• and
• automatically guiding the mobile unit based on the piece of hazard information and/or a received all-clear signal and/or a received guidance signal, the automatic guidance taking place so that the mobile unit is guided to a starting position of the mobile unit.

A method for emitting a signal which encompasses a piece of hazard information, the method comprising:

• receiving data;
• generating a piece of hazard information on the basis of the received data;
• ascertaining an area affected by the piece of hazard information;
• receiving position data of at least one mobile unit;
• ascertaining whether the mobile unit is located in the ascertained area;
• emitting a signal which encompasses the hazard information to the mobile unit if the mobile unit is located in the ascertained area;
• and
• emitting a further signal to a user and/or an owner of the mobile unit and/or a party responsible for the mobile unit, which encompasses a piece of information regarding the emission of the signal to the mobile unit.
