Advanced active safety applications, such as collision avoidance by steering, rely on obtaining a detailed map of the surrounding infrastructure to accurately assess the situation. Here, this map consists of the position of objects, represented by a random finite set (RFS) of multi-target states and we propose to describe the map as the spatial stationary object intensity. This intensity is the first order moment of a multi-target RFS representing the position of stationary objects and it is calculated using a Gaussian mixture probability hypothesis density (GM-PHD) filter.This work is concerned with the problem of multi-sensor multi-target tracking of stationary road side objects, i.e. guard rails and parked vehicles, in the context of automotive active safety systems.
