Abstract
A method for evaluating a minimum braking distance of a vehicle, in particular a car. The method comprises the step of obtaining at least one image in a movement direction of the vehicle associated substantially with an actual location of vehicle. A first road type indication from the at least one image is determined by a trained neural network architecture. Second road type indication associated with the actual location of the car are obtained from a database and compared with the first road type indication. If the second road type indication supports the determined first road type indication, an adjustment parameter associated with one of the at least first and second road type indication is selected. If second road type indication does not support the determined first road type indication, a default adjustment parameter as adjustment parameter is selected. Finally, a minimum braking distance using the adjustment parameter is set.
