Claim:
Sensor arrangement for a vehicle control system, said sensor arrangement, comprising: a buffer for geographic vehicle operation information; an input interface for selecting a subset of the geographic vehicle operation information stored in the buffer, in response to at least one position-related parameter value entered at the input interface; and an output interface for outputting the subset of the geographic vehicle operation information corresponding to the at least one parameter value, whereby the output information is sent for further processing in the vehicle control system; wherein, said geographic vehicle operation information consists of geographic information that is limited to controlling operation of said at least one vehicle control system as the vehicle traverses at least one possible route; said buffer is an isolated buffer cache having only said limited geographic information stored therein; and said limited geographic information consists of a non-navigable subset of a vehicle navigation information included in a digital road map, and excludes address and polygon data that are needed for navigation, as well as all information regarding built up areas.
