Method and device for determining at least one characteristic of a flow of traffic

Abstract

A computer-implemented method for determining at least one traffic flow characteristic around a host vehicle, the method comprising: detecting a plurality of vehicles in a surrounding environment of the host vehicle from data acquired from at least one sensor system of the host vehicle and/or at least one sensor system located in the surrounding environment of the host vehicle; determining from the acquired sensor data a set of parameters for each of the detected vehicles comprising a parameter indicative of the pose of the detected vehicle and a parameter indicative of the motion of the detected vehicle; determining the at least one traffic flow characteristic based on the set of parameters obtained for the plurality of vehicles; and determining, based on the determined at least one traffic flow characteristic, an adjustment of at least one control functionality of an advanced driving assistance system.
