Claim 0:
1. A method for tracking moving objects, in which
a) a multiplicity of objects move in an area along a tracking route in a defined direction of movement, wherein the objects moving along the tracking route in space are vehicles,
b) the objects emit information with data relating to a plurality of non-object-identifying information parameters, at regular intervals of time wherein the non-object-identifying information parameters are a type of object, length of object, and/or a width of object, and
c) with respect to the objects, the information emitted is captured with the non-object-identifying parameter data repeatedly, at different locations at different times,
wherein
d) first information is captured with first non-object-identifying parameter data from a first group of the objects, which comprises at least one object, in a first information capture region along the tracking route and for the defined direction of movement,
e) a data profile specific to the first group, including at least one of a group footprint and a group stamp of the object group, is generated from the captured first non-object-identifying parameter data, and
f) the data profile specific to the first group is provided for data evaluation based on a similarity comparison of data profiles,
g) second information is respectively captured with second non-object-identifying parameter data from a second group of the objects, which comprises at least one object, in at least one further, second information capture region spaced apart from the first information capture region along the tracking route at regular intervals of time or for a calculated time window after the capture in the first information capture region for the defined direction of movement for each interval of time or for each time window,
h) a data profile specific to the second group is respectively generated from the respectively captured second non-object-identifying parameter data, and
i) the respectively generated data profile specific to the second group is provided for the data evaluation based on the data profile similarity comparison,
j) each data profile specific to the second group is compared with the data profile specific to the first group during the data evaluation using parameter data,
k) if it is determined, during the data profile similarity comparison carried out in each case, that the correlation between the first non-object-identifying parameter data and the second non-object-identifying parameter data is so great that the respective parameter data at least partially correspond, a statement can be made on the successful tracking of at least some of the objects captured in the first group along the tracking route between the two information capture regions and an item of tracking information is generated that the second group comprises at least some of the objects of the first group, otherwise such a statement is not possible and the tracking information is not generated.
