Method for assisting a motor vehicle

A method for assisting a motor vehicle during a trip of the motor vehicle within an infrastructure, where the trip of the motor vehicle is guided in an at least semiautomated manner, the method comprising the following steps:

• receiving regional signals, which represent a first region of the infrastructure monitored using a surround-sensor system;
• determining, for the motor vehicle, which is guided in an at least semiautomated manner and is approaching the first region, whether a second region, which is a subregion of the first region or is the first region, is free of a possible collision object for the motor vehicle at an expected arrival time of the motor vehicle at the first or second region, based on the regional signals;
• and
• outputting, based on determining that the second region is free of a possible collision object for the motor vehicle at the expected arrival time, a release signal for transmitting a communications message that the second region is free of a possible collision object for the motor vehicle at the expected arrival time, to the motor vehicle via a communications network.

A device configured to assist a motor vehicle during a trip of the motor vehicle within an infrastructure, where the trip of the motor vehicle is guided in an at least semiautomated manner, the device configured to:

• receive regional signals, which represent a first region of the infrastructure monitored using a surround-sensor system;
• determine, for the motor vehicle, which is guided in an at least semiautomated manner and is approaching the first region, whether a second region, which is a subregion of the first region or is the first region, is free of a possible collision object for the motor vehicle at an expected arrival time of the motor vehicle at the first or second region, based on the regional signals;
• and
• output, based on determining that the second region is free of a possible collision object for the motor vehicle at the expected arrival time, a release signal for transmitting a communications message that the second region is free of a possible collision object for the motor vehicle at the expected arrival time, to the motor vehicle via a communications network.

A non-transitory machine-readable storage medium on which is stored a computer program for assisting a motor vehicle during a trip of the motor vehicle within an infrastructure, where the trip of the motor vehicle is guided in an at least semiautomated manner, the computer program, when executed by a computer, causing the computer to perform the following steps:

• receiving regional signals, which represent a first region of the infrastructure monitored using a surround-sensor system;
• determining, for the motor vehicle, which is guided in an at least semiautomated manner and is approaching the first region, whether a second region, which is a subregion of the first region or is the first region, is free of a possible collision object for the motor vehicle at an expected arrival time of the motor vehicle at the first or second region, based on the regional signals;
• and
• outputting, based on determining that the second region is free of a possible collision object for the motor vehicle at the expected arrival time, a release signal for transmitting a communications message that the second region is free of a possible collision object for the motor vehicle at the expected arrival time, to the motor vehicle via a communications network.
