Abstract

An information system includes a prediction engine for predicting an action based on a set of driving state parameters, and a driving history, and a simulation engine for generating a hypothetical scenario by simulating one or a combination of at least one driving state parameter and at least part of the driving history, such that the prediction engine predicts the action for the hypothetical scenario.
