Patent Images
1. A method for controlling at least one member of a vehicle, comprising the following steps:
- obtaining navigation data suitable for characterizing a road context of the vehicle;
detecting target objects in front of the vehicle by using detection means onboard the vehicle;
determining a value of the relative distance between the vehicle and the target objects;
characterizing a nature of the target objects;
determining a state of traffic on the road used by the vehicle; and
controlling said at least one member by combining navigation data, said nature of the target objects, a relative distance values and said state of the traffic on said road used by the vehicle.
