ADAPTING SAFETY MECHANISMS OF A VEHICLE SAFETY SYSTEM

The invention relates to a method and a device at a vehicle of adapting safety mechanisms of a vehicle safety system. in a first aspect of the invention a method at a vehicle (105) for adapting safety mechanisms of a vehicle safety system is provided. The method comprises acquiring (s101) data to create a representation (113) of a current vehicle surrounding (110), comparing (s102) the created representation to a plurality of pre-stored representations of vehicle surroundings, each having at least one risk assessment measure (R) associated with it which stipulates whether to trigger at least one safety mechanism of the vehicle safety system, and if there is correspondence between the created representation and one of the pre-stored representations: detecting (s103) a vehicle behaviour associated with the current surrounding, and determining (s104), based on the detected vehicle behaviour, whether to adjust triggering of the at least one safety mechanism associated with the at least one risk assessment measure of the pre-stored representation of the current vehicle surrounding for which there is a match with the created representation.
