The invention relates to a method for detecting moving objects in the area surrounding a vehicle (2). The vehicle (2) has separate detection zones (6, 8, 10) between which there is at least one detection gap. A crossover of an object (4) between two detection zones across a detection gap between two detection zones is bridged by prediction by means of a transfer algorithm. Detected objects (4) are classified according to type and the transfer algorithm is a movement model selected to match the determined object type and according to which the object (4) is expected to move through the gap and which comprises a probability of the object (4) being located in the gap. The probability is calculated from location and movement variables of the vehicle (2) and of the detected object (4). The probability further takes into account any features (12, 14) in the current driving roadway section in a driving configuration file.
