Method, device and means of transport for an automated starting up of a means of transport at a light signal system

1. A method of an automated starting of a means of transport at a light-signal system, comprising:

recording an image of the light-signal system by means of a first optical sensor of the means of transport,

determining a signaling state of the light-signal system by means of the recorded image,

executing an automated starting process of the means of transport in response to a signaling state representing and/or announcing a travel clearance,

determining a user action of a driver of the means of transport for plausibility checking of the starting process,

wherein executing the automated starting process is limited to a distance during the plausibility check, and, depending on a result of the plausibility check,

automatically continuing or terminating the starting process.

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the distance is a predefined distance in the event of an unsuccessful plausibility check.

3. The method of claim 2 , wherein the predefined distance is in the range of 30 cm to 100 cm.

4. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the distance is automatically determined depending on the visibility of the light-signal system by the driver in the event of an unsuccessful plausibility check.

5. The method of claim 4 , wherein the automated starting process is further limited to a predefined maximum distance.

6. The method of claim 5 , wherein the predefined maximum distance is in the range of 30 cm to 100 cm.

7. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising determining that an automated starting process is to be executed at a light-signal system in order to determine in dependence thereon a stopping and/or starting position of the means of transport such that it is located in front of a stop line of the light-signal system by a predefined value.

8. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the automated starting at the end of a red phase is carried out at a signal change of the light-signal system from red to green.

9. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the user action for plausibility checking of the starting process comprises an actuation of an operating element and/or an actuation of an accelerator or brake pedal and/or a user gesture and/or a voice command.

10. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising determining the direction of view of the driver by means of a second optical sensor of the means of transport, wherein an alignment of the direction of view in the direction of driving with the traffic situation is categorized as a successful plausibility check of the starting process.

11. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the image comprising the signaling state of the light-signal system at the time of the automated starting process is shown in a display of the means of transport visible to the driver.

12. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the driver is informed of the starting process by an optical and/or acoustic and/or haptic indication in addition to the automated starting process.

13. A device for an automated starting of a means of transport at a light-signal system, comprising:

a data input,

an evaluation unit, and

a data output, wherein

the evaluation unit is configured to

in connection with the data input, receive an image of the light-signal system by means of a first optical sensor of the means of transport,

determine a signaling state of the light-signal system using the recorded image,

in connection with the data output, execute an automated starting process of the means of transport in response to a signaling state representing and/or announcing a travel clearance,

in connection with the data input, determine a user action of a driver of the means of transport for plausibility checking of the starting process,

wherein executing the automated starting process is limited to a distance during the plausibility check, and

in connection with the data output, automatically continue or terminate the starting process depending on a result of the plausibility check.

14. A means of transport comprising a device according to claim 13 .

15. The device of claim 13 , wherein the distance is a predefined distance.

16. The device of claim 15 wherein the predefined distance is in the range of 30 cm to 100 cm.

17. The device of claim 13 , wherein the distance is automatically determined depending on the visibility of the light-signal system by the driver.

18. The method of claim 17 , wherein the predefined maximum distance is in the range of 30 cm to 100 cm.
