New assistance systems, as a preliminary step towards automated driving, require a complete knowledge of the environment. To do this, perception sensors are used, but positioning on digital maps is also a valuable tool as a secondary sensor. In this sense, digital maps must contain increasingly greater precision and detail. A variable that is not usually included is the sight distance, which is conditioned by static and dynamic elements. This paper presents a method for its estimation considering the road geometry and other elements that can interfere with driver or sensors vision such as obstacles in the surroundings of the road or a vehicle in front of the ego vehicle (before an overtaking maneuver). The method is applied to data from a real road with the advantage of being able to work in real time so results could be obtained based on the dynamic elements detected by the vehicle’s sensors. From the sight distance information, the possibility of carrying out overtaking maneuvers is estimated.
