A cross traffic detection system (10) suitable for use on an automated vehicle includes an object-detector (14), an alert-device (24), and a controller (28). The object-detector (14) is used to determine locations (16) of moving-objects (18) relative to a host-vehicle (12). The alert-device (24) is used to alert an operator (26) of the host-vehicle (12) to the location (16) of the moving-objects (18). The controller (28) is in communication with the object-detector (14) and the alert-device (24). The controller (28) determines a first-trail (34) of a first-moving-object (36) based on the locations (16) of the first-moving-object (36), and determines a road-model (48) based on a polynomial (46) of the first-trail (34). The controller (28) also determines a second-trail (56) of a second-moving-object (58), assigns a lane-number (64) to the second-moving-object (58) based on the road-model (48), and activates the alert-device (24) when the path of the second-moving-object (58) resides in the lane-number (64) overlain by a conflict-zone (66).
