The invention relates to a method for providing an operating strategy for at least one target vehicle (10) which is located together with other foreign vehicles (14) on a track section (12) of a road track. A communication unit (16) of the target vehicle or of an external data server is connected to a respective communication unit (16) of the foreign vehicles (14) via an ad-hoc network, in particular via a car-to-X communication. A foreign vehicle (14) communicates a position signal and/or an information to an operating parameter (S10). A processing unit (18) determines the positions of the foreign vehicles (14) (S30) and can determine a digital model for a current traffic situation in the track section (S40) by means of information related to the operating parameter. The digital model describes the track section and the foreign vehicles (14) located thereon and serves as a basis for an operating strategy for operating the at least one target vehicle (10) (S50). Thus, a driving recommendation (34) or a digital representation (30) of the model can be output (S80, S90) or trigger an automatic motor vehicle control (S70).
