Claim:
1. A method of generating a horizon for use in an advanced driver assistance system (ADAS) of a vehicle, comprising: obtaining data representing a pre-calculated route to be traveled by the vehicle; determining a most probable outgoing path that the vehicle is expected to travel in the immediate future at a decision point, wherein the most probable outgoing path is an outgoing path corresponding to a portion of the pre-calculated route; using one or more of stored digital location-based data, vehicle data and driver data to determine data indicative of a relative probability that each of one or more other outgoing paths at the decision point will be taken by the vehicle; determining at least one alternative outgoing path that the vehicle will be expected to travel in the immediate future at the decision point based on the data indicative of the relative probability; generating the horizon using the determined most probable outgoing path and the at least one alternative outgoing path; and providing data associated with the generated horizon to one or more applications, the data associated with the generated horizon configured to be used by the one or more applications when controlling corresponding vehicle subsystems.
