Abstract
A system and a method for avoidance of collision between vehicles, wherein a possible avoidance manoeuvre trajectory for the respective vehicle is calculated and compared with the avoidance manoeuvre trajectories calculated for the other vehicles for controlling whether the avoidance manoeuvre trajectory of the vehicle in every moment during its calculated lapse is located at a stipulated or predetermined minimum distance from the avoidance manoeuvre trajectories of the other vehicles. A warning is presented to a person manoeuvring the vehicle and/or the vehicle is made to follow an avoidance manoeuvre trajectory previously calculated and stored for the vehicle if the comparison shows that the avoidance manoeuvre trajectory of a vehicle in any moment during its calculated lapse is located at a distance from the avoidance manoeuvre trajectories of any of the other vehicles that is smaller than the stipulated minimum distance.
