Abstract

An active safety system for a vehicle includes an external object sensor system arranged on a host vehicle. The sensor system designed to sense objects external to the host vehicle and generate input data relating to the objects, wherein the input data includes an object position ((R, ψrel)(t)). Additionally, a threat indicator is included to assign a threat level (Tk(t)) to each external object (k) detected by the sensor system.
