Abstract: A method for simulating a sensor system includes checking whether an intersection of the first image and the second image exists and assessing whether or not the second virtual object is perspectivally occluded. In case an intersection exists, the Euclidean distance between the sensor and the first virtual object is smaller than the Euclidean distance between the sensor and the second virtual objects, and the size of the intersection exceeds a pre-defined threshold value, the second virtual object is assessed as perspectivally occluded. In case an intersection does not exist, the Euclidean distance between the sensor and the first virtual object is not smaller than the Euclidean distance between the sensor and the second virtual objects, or the size of the intersection exceeds a pre-defined threshold value, the second virtual object is assessed as not perspectivally occluded.

Abstract: A method for calculating a desired trajectory for a vehicle is provided. The vehicle is located at a position on a road bounded by two road edges, wherein the road edges are known at least in a region around the position of the vehicle. A spring-mass model is introduced, wherein the spring-mass model is used for calculating the desired trajectory, wherein the positions of the point masses are calculated for a rest state of the spring-mass model, and the calculated positions of the point masses are used as data points for the calculation of a curve connecting the point masses, whereby the curve represents the desired trajectory.
