Second kinematic state distributions of the traffic participant are projected at a second time which is a first time span into the future. A distribution of trajectories are defined, wherein each trajectory links a kinematic state of the first kinematic state distribution to a kinematic state of the second kinematic state distribution. A third kinematic state distribution is obtained of the traffic participant at a third time which is a second time span later than the first time and shorter than the first time span. Compatibilities between the third kinematic state distribution and a distribution of kinematic states resulting from evaluating each trajectory of the distribution of trajectories at the third time are determined and probabilities assigned to the trajectories using the determined compatibilities.
