Abstract

The present invention relates to a method for use in a driver assistance system of an ego-vehicle. The method supports driving of the ego-vehicle and comprises the steps of retrieving a priority relationship between the ego-vehicle and at least one traffic participant involved in a traffic situation; selecting a prediction model for the at least one traffic participant depending on the priority relationship; predicting at last one hypothetical future trajectory for the ego-vehicle and, based on the selected prediction model, at last one hypothetical future trajectory for the at least one traffic participant; and calculating a behavior relevant score for ego-vehicle based on the calculated hypothetical future trajectories.
