METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR ASSISTING A DRIVER OF A VEHICLE IN DRIVING THE VEHICLE, VEHICLE AND COMPUTER PROGRAM

The invention regards an advanced driver assistant system and a method for assisting a driver of a vehicle in driving the vehicle. The system comprises sensing means (2) for sensing an environment of the vehicle (1), a storing unit (6) for storing a database for storing prototypical situations associated with risk information, a processing unit (3) and an output unit (9) to output an assistance signal on the basis of which driver information can be output and/or vehicle operators can be actuated. The processing unit (3) is configured to determine parameters of the vehicle (1) and/or objects in the environment of the vehicle (1) on the basis of the sensing means output, to classify a traffic situation on the basis of the determined parameters by comparing the determined parameters with parameters of the prototypical traffic situations, to extract risk information from the database and to calculate an expected risk for the encountered traffic situation on the basis of the extracted risk information.
