Abstract
A method for monitoring an area ahead of a vehicle, the vehicle including a first sensor oriented in the direction of the area and a second sensor oriented in the direction of the area, the second sensor having a greater vertical detection angle than the first sensor, in a step of associating, an item of distance information detected by the first sensor is associated with an object detected by the second sensor in the area. In a step of tracking, a position of the object is tracked while using the second sensor when the object leaves the detection angle of the first sensor due to a pitch angle of the vehicle.
