Abstract

A method is for providing an object prediction representation. In an embodiment, the method includes simulating movement of a host vehicle and an object in a longitudinal-lateral coordinate system based on their initial positions at the starting time and a movement of the host vehicle and determined movement of the object. Points in time when at least one reference point of the host vehicle and an object reference point of a plurality of object reference points have the same longitudinal position are detected. Further, for each detected point in time, an associated lateral position of the object reference point at the detected point in time is detected.
