  • Patent number: 11971720
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for preventing a collision between an autonomous vehicle (A) and a user (B) in a movement range of the autonomous vehicle comprising the steps: receiving a time-dependent, planned path (P1) of the autonomous vehicle (A) and a time-dependent, planned path (P2) of the user (B), determining a time-dependent path network by means of a path network unit (8), wherein the time-dependent path network describes the planned paths (P1, P2), determining collision information which describes an overlap of the planned paths (P1, P2) in the time-dependent path network, determining a safe zone (23) for the user on the basis of the collision information, wherein the safe zone (23) describes an area in the movement range which is safe for the user (B) in respect of a collision with the autonomous vehicle (A), and making available a display (20) for the user (B) by means of a display device (19), wherein the display (20) describes the safe zone (23).
