Abstract
A driver-assistance method for a motor vehicle of interest, in which the vehicle of interest detects the third-party vehicles which are present at an initial instant in its environment is disclosed. During a first prediction cycle, an order of priority is assigned to the third-party vehicles which are detected at the initial instant and to the vehicle of interest, corresponding to an order in which the vehicles in the set follow one another in the travel zone starting from a vehicle detected in a position which is furthest ahead of the vehicle of interest. For each selected vehicle in the set, taken in the order of priority, another vehicle in the set is identified which is able to be a primary target vehicle for this selected vehicle. A manoeuvre which is in progress for the selected vehicle is estimated on the basis at least of the identified primary target vehicle.
