Abstract
A method for determining the plausibility of objects in driver assistance systems of motor vehicles includes the steps of statistically analyzing the lateral offsets (Y) of stationary objects to detect left and right roadway boundaries, analyzing the lateral offsets (Y_H) of moving objects to detect any adjacent lanes, calculating a probability value Q_R that the host vehicle is in the extreme right traffic lane of the roadway and a probability value Q_L that the host vehicle is in the extreme left traffic lane, and varying the width and/or lateral position of the travel route envelope as a function of the probability values Q_R and Q_L.
