Method for controlling a vehicle

A non-transitory machine-readable memory on which is stored a computer program for controlling a vehicle, the computer program, when executed by a computer, causing the computer to perform the following steps:

• reading in data of a digital road map;
• determining zones for the digital road map;
• ascertaining possible sequences of trips along a road on the digital road map as a function of the determined zones;
• ascertaining, as a function of sensor data and/or current driving data of the vehicle, whether a current or predicted traffic situation is outside the possible sequences or corresponds to a possible sequence that is determined as being outside an intended operating range;
• determining a measure to be taken when the current or predicted traffic situation is outside the possible sequences or corresponds to the possible sequence outside the intended operating range;
• and
• controlling the vehicle as a function of the measure to be taken.

A vehicle configured to:

• read in data of a digital road map;
• determine zones for the digital road map;
• ascertain possible sequences of trips along a road on the digital road map as a function of the determined zones;
• ascertain, as a function of sensor data and/or current driving data of the vehicle, whether a current or predicted traffic situation is outside the possible sequences or corresponds to a possible sequence that is determined as being outside an intended operating range;
• determine a measure to be taking when the current or predicted traffic situation is outside the possible sequences or corresponds to the possible sequence outside the intended operating range;
• and
• control the vehicle as a function of the measure to be taken.
