1. A method for generating a signal for transferring a partly or highly automated vehicle into a safe system state at a target site, the method comprising: ascertaining, via a processor, a need to transfer the vehicle into a safe system state; determining, via the processor, a vehicle state, the vehicle state including a current vehicle position; ascertaining, via the processor, at least one target site; ascertaining, via the processor, travel trajectories from the current vehicle position to the at least one target site; rating, via the processor, the travel trajectories; selecting, via the processor, one of the travel trajectories based on the rating; generating, via the processor, the signal based on the selected travel trajectory; and transferring, via the processor and based on the signal, a partly or highly automated vehicle into a safe system state at a target site; wherein expected localization accuracies along the ascertained travel trajectories are calculated, and those localization accuracies are used to rate the travel trajectories.
