Abstract
A computer-implemented method and a corresponding system for planning the behavior of a vehicle using a predefined set of rules with prioritized rules for assessing possible behaviors of the vehicle in a given situation. For this purpose, situation-specific information is aggregated, and an environmental model of the given situation is generated based on the aggregated situation-specific information. The set of rules includes a decision-making process structure, which represents the prioritization of the individual rules of the set of rules. On the basis of the environmental mode, boundary conditions for the possible behaviors of the vehicle are determined. The latter are then prioritized by applying the decision-making process structure to the respective boundary conditions.
