摘要： A method for obstacle detection for a rail vehicle includes determining a monitoring region in front of the vehicle based on position and course of a track which the vehicle travels and position and dimensions of a monitoring profile of the vehicle. During the determination, sensor data for determining position and orientation of the vehicle are captured and position and course of the track which the vehicle travels are determined based on alignment of the determined position and orientation of the vehicle with digital map data. Objects in the vehicle environment are captured by sensors of the vehicle. Which objects are potential collision obstacles is determined by checking whether and to what extent they overlap with the monitoring region. A reaction to the objects categorized as potential obstacles is determined based on geometric and kinetic attributes of the objects. An obstacle detection device and a vehicle are also provided.
