Abstract

A determination method for determining at least one region of interest in at least one operational geographical zone. The operational geographical zone determined relative to a sensor to observe and measure the radial speed of an object traveling in a region of interest. The method may include steps simulating the position of the sensor in the region of interest at a determined position and orientation; determining at least one first zone of a region of interest; and determining a second zone of the region of interest, the second zone constituting a coverage zone of the sensor in which an object travelling in the region is observable while accounting for at least the position of the object relative to the sensor. One operational geographic zone is defined by taking account the intersection between the first and second zones.
