Abstract
Based on the assumption that a preceding vehicle does not brake to a halt, but only reduces its speed for a certain time, an improved TTC (Time To Collision) can be calculated. By means of the difference between the TTC with braking to a halt and the improved TTC, a probability for the occurrence of a hypothesis concerning the further behavior of the preceding vehicle can be reduced.
