Abstract
In a method for course prediction in driver assistance systems for motor vehicles, a dynamic course hypothesis is created on the basis of vehicle-dynamics data of the vehicle, which method includes the following steps:
- creating an infrastructure course hypothesis on the basis of data from at least one information source that describe the traffic infrastructure;
- calculating, on the basis of features of the information source, a weighting factor that describes the reliability of the infrastructure course hypothesis; and
- fusing the infrastructure course hypothesis with the dynamic course hypothesis, with weighting in accordance with the calculated weighting factor, to produce a definitive course hypothesis.
