Method and device for determining free areas in the vicinity of a motor vehicle

摘要

The method involves executing a signal run time measurement to measure objects in vicinity of a motor vehicle. An object probability distribution is determined based on the results of the measurement. The object distribution is combined with a hindrance probability distribution, which is represented by a cellular surrounding map (28) of the vehicle and reduced and/or increased during the combination of allocation values of the cells. An independent claim is also included for a device for determining a free area in vicinity of a motor vehicle.
