Method for determining a potential conflict situation

Abstract

The invention relates to a method for determining a potential confiict situation (2) between objects within a multidimensional traffic area (1), with the objects each moving on predetermined trajectories (Tl to Tll), having the following steps: a) subdivision of the traffic area (1), with respect to at least one dimension (x, y, z, t) of the traffic area (1), into at least two partial traffic areas (11, 12, 13, 14, 41, 42, 51, 52, 53, 61), and b) repetition of steps a) and b) corresponding to those partial traffic areas (11, 12, 13, 14, 41, 42, 51, 52, 53, 61) which were subdivided in step a) and are infiuenced by at least two trajectories (T2, T3), with a potential confiict situation (2) between at least two trajectories (T2, T3) which jointly infiuence a partial traffic area (113) being determined as a function of an extent with respect to at least one dimension (x, y, z, t) ofthe partial traffic area (113).
