Abstract

A control system (10) is suitable for use in one's own motor vehicle (12) and is set up and intended to determine the current driving situation of one's own motor vehicle (12) and other motor vehicles (28, 40) in the surroundings of one's own motor vehicle (12) by means of a surroundings sensor system and to assign the other motor vehicles (28, 40) to specific movement paths or not. The control system is set up and intended based on the surroundings data provided to determine at least one path property for a future movement path of one's own motor vehicle (12), based on the surroundings data provided for every other motor vehicle (28, 40) in the surroundings of one's own motor vehicle (12) and in relation to at least two reference points of the respective other motor vehicle (28, 40) to determine a state vector, to transform the respectively determined state vector for each of the other motor vehicles (28, 40) into path coordinates and based on the at least one path property for one's own motor vehicle (12) and, to determine based on the respective transformed state vector, a probability distribution of a position of each of the other motor vehicles (28, 40) corresponding to each o…
