METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR RECOGNITION OF OBSTACLES IN A DANGER ZONE, RAILROAD CROSSING, PLATFORM, COMPUTER PROGRAM PRODUCT AND PROVISION APPARATUS

A method for recognizing obstacles in a danger zone traversed by a vehicle using a sensor facility sensing an object. The sensed objects are recognized and assessed with computer assistance. A model containing objects to be recognized and their position at the danger zone is used for assessment of the objects. For recognized objects, a check uses the model if they are recognized at an expected position, until all objects of the model are assigned to a recognized object and the assessment is that no obstacle is in the danger zone, or an object is contained in the model, to which none of the recognized objects is assigned and the assessment is that an obstacle is in the danger zone. The object assessment is suspended while a vehicle traverses the danger zone. An arrangement for recognition of obstacles, railroad crossing, platform, computer program product and provision apparatus are also provided.
