Abstract
Method and system are provided for vehicle accident avoidance carried out with respect to a host vehicle by modeling behavior. The method includes: monitoring a surrounding environment of the host vehicle and detecting other vehicles in a vicinity of the host vehicle by at least one visual sensor. The method further includes: estimating a speed and direction of each of the detected vehicles; calculating one or more projected paths of each of the detected vehicles based on their current estimated speed and direction, the current monitored surrounding environment, and other vehicle projected paths; estimating a probability of intersection of each projected path with the host vehicle; and providing an alert or action to the host vehicle if there is a high probability of intersection.
