A method for operating an infrastructure sensor system, wherein the infrastructure sensor system comprises a plurality of networked infrastructure sensors arranged on a shared mounting device. First, data are transmitted to a sway estimation module by at least one of the infrastructure sensors, wherein the data comprise at least pre-processed data, for example environmental information and/or current measurement data, in particular raw data, detected by the respective infrastructure sensor. The transmitted data are further processed in the next step and the sway estimation module determines therefrom a motion function for the mounting device. Based on the motion function, correction information, for example for at least one of the infrastructure sensors, is now determined by the sway estimation module. The correction information and/or motion function can now be provided for further use, for example, to the respective infrastructure sensors or to a central computing unit.
