## Abstract

Various embodiments of the teachings herein include a method for designing a traffic infrastructure on the basis of height data provided by a height monitoring object comprising: a) evaluating the height data detected by a sensor unit of the height monitoring object and generating an evaluation dataset; b) identifying a component of the traffic infrastructure from the evaluation dataset; c) identifying a user of the traffic infrastructure from the evaluation dataset; and d) determining a utilization of the component by the user.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A method for designing a traffic infrastructure on the basis of height data provided by a height monitoring object, the method comprising:
a) evaluating the height data detected by a sensor unit of the at height monitoring object and generating an evaluation dataset on the basis of the height data;
b) identifying a component of the traffic infrastructure from the evaluation dataset;
c) identifying a user of the traffic infrastructure from the evaluation dataset; and
d) determining a utilization of the component by the user.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The method as claimed in claim 1, further comprising determining a location for a charging infrastructure component on the basis of the determined utilization.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The method as claimed in claim 1, wherein at least one of the steps is carried out by a learning algorithm and/or a neural network.

### Claim 4 (depends on 1)

The method as claimed in claim 1, wherein the component comprises a parking facility for a vehicle and/or the user comprises a vehicle.

### Claim 5 (depends on 1)

The method as claimed in claim 1, further comprising incorporating ground data from a ground sensor unit into the evaluation dataset.

### Claim 6 (depends on 1)

The method as claimed in claim 1, further comprising incorporating background data into the evaluation dataset.

### Claim 7 (depends on 6)

The method as claimed in claim 6, wherein the background data comprise at least one of: a model of a distribution network, data of a geographic information system, traffic data, and/or a statistic relating to user behavior.

### Claim 8

A system comprising:
a processor; and
a memory storing a set of instructions, the set of instructions, when accessed and executed by the processor, causing the processor to design a traffic infrastructure on the basis of height data provided by a height monitoring object, by:
a) evaluating the height data detected by a sensor unit of the height monitoring object and generating an evaluation dataset on the basis of the height data;
b) identifying a component of the traffic infrastructure from the evaluation dataset;
c) identifying a user of the traffic infrastructure from the evaluation dataset; and
d) determining a utilization of the component by the user.

### Claim 9

(canceled)

### Claim 10

A non-transitory electronically readable data carrier with electronically readable control information stored thereon, the information, when accessed and executed by a processor caousing the processor to design a traffic infrastructure on the basis of height data provided by a height monitoring object, by:
a) evaluating the height data detected by a sensor unit of the height monitoring object and generating an evaluation dataset on the basis of the height data;
b) identifying a component of the traffic infrastructure from the evaluation dataset;
c) identifying a user of the traffic infrastructure from the evaluation dataset; and
d) determining a utilization of the component by the user.
