Method and device to detect obstacles

摘要

The method involves detecting coordinates of objects in the sensing range of sensors (3) mounted on a motor vehicle and evaluating whether a detected object (4,5) constitutes an obstruction to enable collision avoidance or accident consequence minimization measures to be initiated. The minimum distance and the coordinates of both outermost end regions (A,C) of each object are detected. An Independent claim is also included for an arrangement for implementing the method.
