1. A method for providing a safety zone associated with a vehicle, the method comprising:
- collecting position data associated with one or more obstacles within a certain range of a vehicle;
establishing an occupancy grid or matrix based on the collected position data;
determining a reaction distance and a deceleration distance associated with a vehicle at a regular interval during an operational state; and
determining a safety zone based on the occupancy grid or matrix, the determined reaction distance and the deceleration distance.

Abstract
A sensing system collects position data associated with one or more obstacles within a certain range of a vehicle. A former establishes an occupancy grid based on the collected position data. A motion monitoring module determines a reaction distance and a deceleration distance associated with a vehicle at a regular time interval during an operational state. A safety guidance module establishes a safety zone (e.g., safety zone grid) for the regular time interval based on the occupancy grid, the determined reaction distance, and the deceleration distance.
