The method involves actuating the ultrasonic transceiver at at least two transmission and reception positions along a lateral direction for the purpose of transmitting a respective transmission signal in a transverse direction across the direction of travel and receiving a respective received signal characteristic reflected from the lateral surroundings; identifying a number of echo signals in the respective received signal characteristic; trilaterating a bearing of a first reflection point in the lateral surroundings, from which the chronologically first echo signals in the respective received signal characteristic were reflected; selecting an echo signal for a double echo determination; and determining a height of an object as being tall if a double echo is detected or short if no double echo is detected.",
