A vehicle system configured to identify a target object and a potential intersection of the vehicle and the target object; identify one or more data collectors to provide data for analysing the intersection; collect data from the data collectors relating to the host vehicle and the target object; develop a co-ordinate map of the surrounding environment based on the collected data; analysing the co-ordinate map to determine a threat estimation; activate a vehicle safety system based on the threat estimation. Analysing the map may include determining a driver intent probability for the target object (which may be a target vehicle) and the host vehicle. The collected data may include the velocity and acceleration of the target object. The co-ordinate map may be integrated into a road network map. The vehicle assist system may be a brake assist system, warning, steering assist, torque assist, or a head lamp adjustment system that adjusts the high beam activation, aim or pattern of the headlights.
