A method evaluates a degree of fatigue of a vehicle occupant in a vehicle. A number of first fatigue indicators is provided which are determined according to computation rules from a plurality of first sensor values and each represent a degree of fatigue of the vehicle occupant. The first sensor values represent measured values of the vehicle and/or measured values relating to a current journey. A first metadata record is associated with each of the number of first fatigue indicators, wherein the first metadata records represent information about the characteristics of the sensors. The first sensor values are processed in the respective first fatigue indicators. A number of second fatigue indicators is provided which are determined according to computation rules from one or more second sensor values and each represent a degree of fatigue of the vehicle occupant. The second sensor values represent physiological and/or physical parameters of the vehicle occupants. A second metadata record is associated with each of the number of second fatigue indicators. The second metadata records represent information about the characteristics of the sensors. The second sensor values are processed in the respective second fatigue indicators. An overall fatigue indicator is determined which represents the degree of fatigue of the vehicle occupant by weighting the number of first fatigue indicators and the number of second fatigue indicators. The fatigue indicators are weighted according to the information about the characteristics of the sensors contained in the first metadata record and the second metadata record.
