Abstract

A method and system for assisting operation of an ego-vehicle in the traffic situation with shared traffic space is provided, in which a future path for the ego-vehicle and a future path for another traffic participant and a relevant path corridor for each determine future path is determined. Based thereon, an overlap of the path corridors to define a shared traffic space is determined and individual distance measures between the ego-vehicle and the shared traffic space and between the other traffic participant and the shared traffic space are calculated to determine an asymmetry. Based on the asymmetry an order is determined and (partially) automated in accordance with trajectory determined based on the order, or information on the intended passing order is provided to the ego-vehicle driver.
