A method for determining the plausibility of objects in driver assistance systems of motor vehicles includes the steps of statistically analyzing the lateral offsets (Y) of stationary objects to detect left and right roadway boundaries, analyzing the lateral offsets (Y_H) of moving objects to detect any adjacent lanes, calculating a probability value Q_R that the host vehicle is in the extreme right traffic lane of the roadway and a probability value Q_L that the host vehicle is in the extreme left traffic lane, and varying the width and/or lateral position of the travel route envelope as a function of the probability values Q_R and Q_L.

What is claimed is 1. A method for determining a plausibility of an object detected by a driver assistance system of a motor vehicle, wherein the driver assistance system includes a locating system, the method comprising:locating, by the locating system, objects in the surroundings of the vehicle, the objects including stationary objects and moving objects;measuring, by the locating system, lateral offsets of the located objects in a direction perpendicular to a direction of travel of the motor vehicle;defining a travel route envelope for the motor vehicle; anddetermining a plausibility of the moving objects based on whether the moving objects are one of inside and outside of the travel route envelope, wherein the plausibility determination includes:statistical analysis of the lateral offsets of the stationary objects to detect left and right roadway boundaries;analysis of the lateral offsets of the moving objects to detect any adjacent lanes;calculating a first probability value that the vehicle is in an extreme right traffic lane of the roadway, and a second probability value that the vehicle is in an extreme left traffic lane; andvarying at least one of a width and a lateral position of the travel route envelope as a function of the first and second probability values.
