SENSOR SYSTEM FOR INDEPENDENTLY EVALUATING THE INTEGRITY OF THE DATA OF THE SENSOR SYSTEM

摘要

The invention relates to a sensor system, comprising several sensor elements, which are designed in such a way that the sensor elements detect at least partially different primary measured variables and/or use at least partially different measurement principles, furthermore comprising a signal processing device, wherein the signal processing device is designed in such a way that the signal processing device evaluates the sensor signals of the sensor elements at least partially in common and evaluates the information quality of the sensor signals, wherein the signal processing device is designed in such a way that the signal processing device provides information about the consistency of at least one datum of a physical quantity, wherein said datum of the physical quantity is calculated at least partially on the basis of the sensor signals of sensor elements that directly detect said physical quantity or said physical quantity can be calculated from the sensor signals of said sensor elements, wherein the information about the consistency of said datum of said physical quantity is calculated at least on the basis of the directly or indirectly redundant sensor information.
