Method for evaluating an effect of an object in the surroundings of a transport device on a driving maneuver of the transport device

A method for evaluating an effect of an object in surroundings of a transport device on a driving maneuver of the transport device, comprising the following steps:

• ascertaining a first distance between the object and a first position of the transport device using a first ultrasonic sensor of the transport device;
• ascertaining a second distance between the object and a second position of the transport device different from the first position, using the first ultrasonic sensor of the transport device;
• calculating a change between the first distance and the second distance with regard to a path, which corresponds to a distance traveled between the first position and the second position of the transport device;
• and
• taking into account to object or not taking into account the object during execution of the driving maneuver of the transport device as a function of a result of the calculation.

A device for evaluating an effect of an object in surroundings of a transport device on a driving maneuver of the transport device, comprising:

• an evaluation unit;
• a data input;
• and
• a data output;
• wherein the evaluation unit is configured to:
• in connection with the data input:
• ascertain a first distance between the object and a first position of the transport device using a first ultrasonic sensor of the transport device, and
• ascertain a second distance between the object and a second position of the transport device different from the first position, using
• the first ultrasonic sensor of the transport device;
• calculate a change between the first distance and the second distance with regard to a path, which corresponds to a distance traveled between the first position and the second position of the transport device;
• and
• in conjunction with the data output, take into account the object or not take into account the object during execution of the driving maneuver of the transport device as a function of a result of the calculation.
