1. A method comprising:
- detecting an object in an environment of a motor vehicle;
in a first phase;
a processor tracking the object relative to the motor vehicle based on sensor data obtained from at least one sensor and using a first movement model of the motor vehicle; and
the processor controlling movements of the motor vehicle based on the tracking of the first phase;
detecting a collision of the motor vehicle with an obstacle;
the processor determining from which direction the obstacle collides with the motor vehicle in the detected collision; and
in a second phase;
the processor tracking the object relative to the motor vehicle based on sensor data obtained from only that of the at least one sensor which faces away from the determined direction of the collision and using a second movement model of the motor vehicle; and
the processor controlling the movements of the motor vehicle based on the tracking of the second phase.

Abstract
A method includes steps of detecting an object in an environment of a motor vehicle; in a first phase, tracking the object with respect to the motor vehicle with the aid of a first movement model of the motor vehicle; detecting a collision of the motor vehicle with an obstacle; and in a second phase, tracking the object with respect to the motor vehicle with the aid of a second movement model of the motor vehicle.

14. A non-transitory computer readable storage medium on which is stored program code that is executable by a processor and that, when executed by the processor, causes the processor to perform a method, the method comprising:
-
detecting an object in an environment of a motor vehicle; in a first phase; tracking the object relative to the motor vehicle based on sensor data obtained from at least one sensor and using a first movement model of the motor vehicle; and controlling movements of the motor vehicle based on the tracking of the first phase; detecting a collision of the motor vehicle with an obstacle; determining from which direction the obstacle collides with the motor vehicle in the detected collision; and in a second phase; tracking the object relative to the motor vehicle based on sensor data obtained from only that of the at least one sensor which faces away from the determined direction of the collision and using a second movement model of the motor vehicle; and controlling the movements of the motor vehicle based on the tracking of the second phase. - View Dependent Claims (15)
