A method for identifying the contour of a vehicle based on measurement data from an environment sensor system is disclosed. The measurement data includes a set of spatial points of an object detected by the environment sensor system. The method includes: producing an envelope in the form of a polygonal chain around the object based on the set of spatial points; reducing the set of spatial points; removing spatial points from the polygonal chain that are irrelevant to identifying the contour of the vehicle and determining spatial points of the polygonal chain that are relevant to identifying the contour of the vehicle; classifying one or more edges as belonging to a front and a side of the vehicle on the basis of the reduced set of spatial points.

A collision detection device on a motor vehicle for tracking a remote target vehicle for the detection of an imminent collision by fusing radar sensor data from a first environment sensor designed as a radar sensor with sensor data from a second environment sensor. First wheel acquisition data based on the radar sensor data from the first environment sensor and second wheel acquisition data based on sensor data from the second environment sensor are merged and a parameter of the target vehicle is established.
