Abstract

The present invention provides an advanced driver assistance system for assisting a driver of a vehicle. The system comprises a sensor unit, a processing unit and a display unit. The sensor unit is configured to sense an environment of the vehicle. The processing unit is configured to determine, based on a sensing output, at least one feature of the environment. The processing unit is configured to determine, for a current time, a risk zone of the feature, by estimating, based on at least one parameter of the vehicle at the current time, at each virtual position of two or more virtual positions of the vehicle a respective risk with regard to the feature; and by forming the risk zone based on the two or more risks. The display unit is configured to display the environment of the vehicle with the feature and the risk zone of the feature.
