METHOD FOR DETERMINING TRAFFIC DENSITY INFORMATION IN A MOTOR VEHICLE AND MOTOR VEHICLE

Method for determining traffic density information to be taken into account in a function of a vehicle system, the traffic density information describing the traffic density in the vicinity of the motor vehicle (1) in a motor vehicle (1), whereby radar data describing objects (17) in the vicinity of the motor vehicle (1) are recorded by means of at least one radar sensor (2) directed at the vicinity of the motor vehicle (1) and based on semiconductor technology, an environment map containing detected objects (17) classified into static and dynamic objects (17) is determined by evaluating the radar data, and the traffic density information is determined from at least a part of the positions of dynamic objects (17) contained in the environment map.
