A method and a device for extensive traffic situation monitoring of a road network on which vehicles can travel is provided. Remote photographs are taken by aircraft of the area to be monitored, and the images thus taken are subjected to an image-processing process to localize the roads in the road network and to recognize vehicles on them. On the basis of the detected vehicles, conclusions are then drawn about the traffic situation. A device for performing this method incorporates an evaluation center to which the data from the pictures taken by the aircraft are supplied and which has a suitable image-processing system.
