1. A method of performing threat assessment within a vehicle comprising:
- detecting at least one object;
determining kinematics of the vehicle;
determining kinematics of said at least one object;
determining a brake threat number, comprising determining an approximate deceleration at zero range value, in response to said vehicle kinematics and said kinematics of said at least one object; and
determining a threat of said at least one object in response to said brake threat number.

Abstract
Methods of performing threat assessment of objects for a vehicle include detecting an object. Kinematics of the vehicle and of the object are determined. A brake threat number and a steering threat number are determined in response to the kinematics of the vehicle and the object. The threat posed by the object is determined in response to the brake threat number and the steering threat number.
