Abstract
A method and arrangement for determining safe vehicle trajectories for a vehicle equipped with sensors for monitoring a surrounding environment, taking into account sensing limitations, as well as a vehicle including such an arrangement. The method includes detecting observable obstacles, detecting unobservable areas, adding virtual obstacles in unobservable areas, associating each observable obstacle and each virtual obstacle with one or more hypothetical events and assigning an occurrence probability to each combination of obstacle and one or more events, and determining safe vehicle trajectories based on both observable obstacles and virtual obstacles and the occurrence probability of each combination of obstacle and one or more events.
