Abstract
A system and method for estimating an orientation of a traffic participant. In one example, the system includes a sensor configured to detect a traffic participant and an electronic controller configured to receive a signal from the sensor, compare a location of the vehicle to a map of expected orientation of traffic participants to estimate an orientation of the traffic participant, perform a calculation based upon the signal from the sensor to estimate an orientation of the traffic participant if an expected orientation is not determined by the comparison of the location of the vehicle to the map of expected orientation of traffic participants, and generate a notification based upon the estimated orientation of the traffic participant.
