Abstract

The present invention relates to a method for determining an evasive path for a host vehicle (10), the method i.a. comprising: establishing (S1) a predicted traffic environment (12) of the host vehicle in a time-lateral position domain, the predicted traffic environment comprising an object prediction representation (16) of a traffic object; determining (S2) a start node (24) for the host vehicle; defining (S3) an end node (26) for the host vehicle; placing (S4) several boundary nodes (28) relative to the object prediction representation; setting (S5) node connections (30, 32, 34a-b, 36a-b, 38, 40, 42) between the start node, the boundary nodes, and the end node; and traversing (S6) the nodes using a graph-search algorithm in order to find a path from the start node to the end time with a lowest cost.
