A method is for providing an object prediction representation. In an embodiment, the method includes simulating movement of a host vehicle and an object in a longitudinal-lateral coordinate system based on their initial positions at the starting time and a movement of the host vehicle and determined movement of the object. Points in time when at least one reference point of the host vehicle and an object reference point of a plurality of object reference points have the same longitudinal position are detected. Further, for each detected point in time, an associated lateral position of the object reference point at the detected point in time is detected.

Method for providing an object prediction representation

The present invention relates to a method for determining an evasive path for a host vehicle (), the method i.a. comprising: establishing (S) a predicted traffic environment () of the host vehicle in a time-lateral position domain, the predicted traffic environment comprising an object prediction representation () of a traffic object; determining (S) a start node () for the host vehicle; defining (S) an end node () for the host vehicle; placing (S) several boundary nodes () relative to the object prediction representation; setting (S) node connections (--) between the start node, the boundary nodes, and the end node; and traversing (S) the nodes using a graph-search algorithm in order to find a path from the start node to the end time with a lowest cost.
