Abstract
A method for determining an operational geographical zone relative to a sensor may include a step of simulating the position of said sensor; a step of determining a first zone of the region of interest; and a step of determining a second zone of the region of interest. The region of interest of the first zone may be constituted by points at each of which said object at that point traveling at a speed greater than or equal to said speed VT and in a given direction, would be seen by the sensor as having a radial speed greater than a threshold speed defined for that point. The operational geographical zone. may be defined by taking account of the intersection of the first zone and of a coverage zone of the sensor.
