Method for determining free spaces in the vicinity of a motor vehicle, in particular in the vicinity relevant to the vehicle operation
First Claim
1. A computer-implemented method for determining free spaces in the vicinity of a motor vehicle, comprising:
- obtaining, by a processor of a computer, information about at least one free space located in the vicinity of the motor vehicle from a measurement taken by at least one object detection sensor of the motor vehicle; and
using, by the processor, the information from the at least one object detection sensor to calculate at least one probability of a non-occupied state for the least one free space, while taking at least one characteristic of a physical measuring principle of the at least one object detection sensor into account;
wherein the processor takes into account that the at least one object detection sensor has the capability of directly detecting a plurality of objects simultaneously.

Abstract
A method and system for determining free spaces in the vicinity of a motor vehicle, in particular a vicinity relevant to the vehicle operation, is provided. A method and system for determining an evasion trajectory for a driver assistance system of the motor vehicle is provided in which information from at least one object detection sensor of the motor vehicle about at least one detected object is used while taking the characteristics of the physical measuring principle of the at least one object detection sensor into account. A method and system is provided in which it is taken into account that the at least one object detection sensor has the capability of directly detecting a plurality of objects by a single measurement.

8. A driver assistance system of a motor vehicle, comprising:
-
at least one object detection sensor for detecting at least one object and obstacle in a vicinity of the motor vehicle; and a control device which is connected to the at least one object detection sensor and which is designed to execute a computer program on a microprocessor of a microcomputer, wherein the computer program, when executed, causes the microprocessor to perform the following; obtaining information concerning at least one free space located in the vicinity of the motor vehicle from a measurement taken by the at least one object detection sensor of the motor vehicle; using the information from the at least one object detection sensor to calculate at least one probability of a non-occupied state for the least one free space, while taking at least one characteristic of a physical measuring principle of the at least one object detection sensor into account; and taking into account that the at least one object detection sensor has the capability of directly detecting a plurality of objects simultaneously.
