A compact, portable weather station for predicting local extreme weather conditions and for reporting remote weather conditions. The weather station has sensors for determining local temperature, barometric pressure, humidity, ambient light, and ambient static charge. A microprocessor has memory for storing data relating to past weather conditions and data processing apparatus and algorithms for determining probable developing weather conditions responsive to sensed local conditions. The weather station has a radio receiver for communicating with global weather reporting communications systems utilizing cellular communications. Operating commands, predicted local weather conditions, and remote weather conditions are annunciated in synthesized voice in any one of a variety of predetermined languages. The weather station includes voice synthesizing and recognition apparatus for annunciating verbal prompts and weather conditions, and for responding to vocal control. The weather station is formed in two separable components, one having sensors and the other having radio communications apparatus.

The method as recited in claim 11 wherein the course of the road is determined using a Kalman filter. 15. The method as recited claim 1 further comprising making available the position of the vehicle with respect to the traffic lane to further technical systems as a control parameter. 16. The method as recited in claim 15 wherein a further technical system is controlled which masks the detection space of beam-based sensors. 17. The method as recited in claim 15 wherein a further technical system is a traffic analyzer. 18. A device for carrying out a method for determining the position of a motor vehicle with respect to a traffic lane, comprising: an on-board navigation system, in which a first correlation of the motor vehicle to a road is carried out via road map data coupled to the navigation system, and a distance-resolving sensor coupled to the on-board navigation system, the distance-resolving sensor receiving a received signal for determining a distance to a road edge, the first correlation and the distance to the road edge being used to determine position of the motor vehicle. 19. The device as recited in claim 18 wherein the device further includes a signal processing unit for evaluating individually the signature acquired by the sensor from the transition between the road surface and the road edge.
