INTERSECTION BLOCKING PREVENTION

The present invention refers to a method for performing an intersection blocking prevention for traffic participants (14) in vicinity of the intersection (12), comprising the steps of defining a non-blocking area (28) for the intersection (12), receiving environment sensor information covering at least one exiting area (30) and at least one entrance area (32) adjacent to the non-blocking area (28) and connected to the intersection (12), determining a free space (52) in the at least one exiting area (30) as a space between the non-blocking area (28) and a traffic participant (14) located in the respective exiting area (30) closest to the non-blocking area (28), identifying a traffic participant (14) in the at least one entrance area (32) with a driving path (54) to the at least one exiting area (30), determining if the identified traffic participant (14) fits the free space (52) in the at least one exiting area (30) according to its driving path (54), and sending a warning message to the identified traffic participant (14) in case it does not fit in the free space (52) in the at least one exiting area (30) according to its driving path (54). The present invention also refers to an intersection blocking prevention unit (16) for perform the above method. The present invention further refers to an intersection blocking prevention system (10) for preventing blocking the intersection (12) with traffic participants (14) in vicinity of the intersection (12), comprising the above intersection blocking prevention unit (16) and multiple traffic participants (14) in communication connection with the intersection blocking prevention unit (16).
