ESTIMATION OF ACCIDENT INTENSITY FOR VEHICLES

The present invention relates to a method for alerting drivers and/or autonomous vehicles of high risk scenarios. The method comprises obtaining positional data of a vehicle, where the positional data is indicative of a geographical position and a heading of the vehicle. The method further comprises obtaining environmental data of the vehicle, where the environmental data is indicative of a state of the surrounding environment of the vehicle. Furthermore, the method comprises determining, by means of a trained model, an accident intensity for an upcoming road portion for the vehicle, the trained model being configured to determine an accident intensity associated with the upcoming road portion based on the obtained environmental data and the obtained positional data. Then, if the determined accident intensity exceeds a threshold, the method comprises transmitting a signal indicating an approaching high risk scenario to a Human-Machine-Interface, HMI, of the vehicle and/or to a control system of the vehicle. The invention further relates to a corresponding computer-readable storage medium, apparatus, and a vehicle comprising such an apparatus.
