Abstract
A method for predicting an impact condition between a host vehicle and an object detected in a path of travel of the host vehicle includes receiving measured parameters from the host vehicle and the object, and receiving a system sensitivity input from a driver of the host vehicle. A braking response of the driver of the host vehicle is estimated, based on the received system sensitivity input, and a projected travel range profile for both the host vehicle and the object is determined, based upon the measured parameters and the estimated braking response. The impact condition is established whenever a comparison of the projected travel range profile for the host vehicle and for the object establishes an intersection therebetween.
