1. A method for determining a probability of a vehicle colliding with an object, the method comprising:

  • detecting the object,determining a stochastic process representing a relative distance between the vehicle and the detected object, the stochastic process having a direction and a velocity relative the vehicle,defining a safety zone of the vehicle in relation to the detected object as a straight line perpendicular to a line of sight of the detected object, anddetermining the probability of colliding with the detected object over a period of time as the probability of the stochastic process crossing the straight line with the direction and velocity of the stochastic process.
