Abstract: A method for predicting whether another vehicle in the driving-environment of an ego-vehicle will execute a lane-change, based on observations of the driving-environment of the ego-vehicle, including: the observations are supplied to individual classificators; based on at least a portion of the observations, each individual classificator, in accordance with an individual instruction, ascertains an individual probability that the other vehicle will change lanes; the driving situation in which the ego-vehicle finds itself is classified as a whole by a situation classificator into one of several discrete classes; a record of weighting factors, assigned to the class into which the situation-classificator has classified the driving-situation, is ascertained, that indicates the relative weighting of the individual classificators for this driving situation; the individual probabilities are set off against the weighting-factors to form an overall probability that the other vehicle will change lanes.
