Method, Computer Program And Device For Determining A Vehicle Spacing For An Observation Period

The present invention relates to a method, to a computer program comprising instructions and to a device for determining a vehicle spacing for an observation period. The invention also relates to a motor vehicle and to a back end, in which a method according to the invention, or device according to the invention, is used. In a first step, measurement values relating to an average vehicle spacing for a plurality of measurement times are received. These values may be stored for later use. The situation may arise in which an unusable measurement value is identified at an error time. In this case, a vehicle spacing for a current observation period that contains the error time is determined based on a vehicle spacing determined from the recorded measurement values for a previous observation period.
