Prediction of travel paths of a vehicle

Disclosed is a method for predicting a travel path of a vehicle, comprising: providing the current position of the vehicle; Determining a set of future possible driving path of the vehicle using a digital map, the current position and a predetermined maximum size of each travel path, in particular a maximum length of each of the travel path, a maximum travel time for each driving path or a maximum number of maneuvers for each travel route; Providing measurements of predetermined types of relevant for driving actions of the driver of the vehicle, in particular the speed or acceleration of the vehicle, the setting of a direction indicator, and / or visual location at which a driver looks in the vicinity of the vehicle; Providing, for each driving path of the group of drive paths from one or more models that provide a Auftrittsmaszahl each represent one or more types of actions of the driver, wherein the Auftrittsmaszahl provides a measure of the probability provides that the measurements of the drive relevant actions in guiding of the vehicle on the relevant driving path occur; Determining, for each car path and for each model of the respective Auftrittsmaszahl; Determining, for each path of travel from the group of drive paths, a Ausfuhrungsmaszahl, namely a measure of the probability that the corresponding travel path is traveled, based on the respective determined for the driving path Auftrittsmaszahlen.
