1. A method for predicting an impact condition between a host vehicle and an object detected in a path of travel of the host vehicle, the method comprising:

  • receiving measured parameters from the host vehicle and the object;

    receiving a system sensitivity input from a driver of the host vehicle;

    estimating a braking response of the driver of the host vehicle, said estimated braking response based on said received system sensitivity input; and

    determining a projected travel range profile for both the host vehicle and the object, based upon said measured parameters and said estimated braking response;

    wherein, the impact condition is established whenever a comparison of said projected travel range profile for the host vehicle and for the object establishes an intersection therebetween.
