Method and system for considering safety aspects relating to the operation of a vehicle in an environment with vulnerable road users

摘要

The present invention relates to a method for taking into account safety aspects relating to the operation of a vehicle (V1) in an environment comprising vulnerable road users (VRU1, VRU2, VRU3). The vehicle has certain vehicle dimensions that generate some vehicle behavior during operation of the vehicle. The method includes the steps of: determining changes in the vehicle dimensions; Determining whether the determined changes in vehicle dimensions generate a changed vehicle behavior during operation; Determining vulnerable road users (VRU1, VRU2, VRU3) on the way of the vehicle; if a changed vehicle behavior is determined, determining whether safety risks are pending for one or more of the vulnerable road users (VRU1, VRU2, VRU3) based on the determined altered vehicle behavior and the particular vulnerable road users on the way of the vehicle (V1); and if it is determined that there are safety risks for one or more of the vulnerable road users (VRU1, VRU2, VRU3), adjusting the operation of the vehicle (V1) to avoid the safety risks. The present invention also relates to a system for taking into account safety aspects the operation of a vehicle. The present invention also relates to a vehicle. The present invention also relates to a computer program and a computer readable medium.
