Abstract
Determining a collision probability of a vehicle with an object. A three-dimensional position and orientation of the vehicle and the object is detected. The vehicle is approximated by at least one first geometrical element, that includes a part of the vehicle. The same is done for the object. A first error and a second error is determined in relation to the geometrical element for the vehicle or object. A Minkowski difference is formed for each combination of the at least one first geometrical element with the at least one second geometrical element. A third error is standardized via a transformation. The transformation serves to calculate calculation elements. The collision probability of the vehicle with the object is determined on the basis a spatial union of the calculation elements.
