A method, a device and a computer program product, by means of which sensor values of redundant sensors in vehicles can be compared with each other to carry out a plausibility check, the measured values of said sensors not being synchronized with each other, are described. On the basis of a first measured value in time, and using the physical properties of the vehicle, a plausibility window, in which a second, subsequent measured value of a different sensor must be to count as plausible, is formed. The determined plausibility of the measured values is indicated by means of a plausibility signal.

1. A method of checking the plausibility of measured values of at least two sensors for a measured variable in a motor vehicle environment, each sensor supplying measured values of the variable continuously, the method comprising the following steps: (a) assigning a time stamp to each measured value Mi;(b) deriving a plausibility window Pi from physical properties of the motor vehicle;(c) testing whether a first measured value M1 supplied by a first sensor and a later second measured value M2 supplied by a second sensor differ by more than is specified by the plausibility window Pi, the time interval between a first measured value M1 and the second measured value M2 entering the derivation of the plausibility window Pi; and(d) depending on a result of the testing, generating a plausibility signal. 2. The method according to claim 1, wherein the measured variable is a yaw rate of the motor vehicle. 3. The method according to claim 2, wherein the physical properties of the motor vehicle include a maximum physically possible yaw rate for the motor vehicle and a maximum yaw rate which can be determined from a steering angle. 4. The method according to claim 1, wherein the testing includes comparing an absolute difference between the first measured value M1 and the second measured value M2 with the plausibility window Pi. 5. The method according to claim 1, wherein the plausibility window Pi has an upper and a lower limit, and the two limits are determined independently of each other. 6. The method according to claim 5, wherein a rate of change of the measured values of at least one of the first sensor and the second sensor enters the derivation of the plausibility window Pi. 7.

The method according to claim 11, wherein additionally measured values which are determined from the measured values the sensors, and are proportional to the measured variable, are determined and output. 13. The method according to claim 11, wherein the measurement frequency depends on a difference of the measured values of the at least one of the first and second sensors from reference values. 14. The method according to claim 1, wherein the measured values of one of the sensors are reference values and further wherein most recent measured values of another sensor, that differs least from the reference values are output. 15.
