1. Method for the support of driving an ego-vehicle including the following steps: selecting at least one traffic participant and/or infrastructure element involved in the traffic situation, calculating of a hypothetical future trajectory from the ego-vehicle gained by predicting the current state of the ego-vehicle and varying this hypothetical future ego-trajectory to generate a plurality of ego-trajectory alternatives including the calculated hypothetical future ego-trajectory, calculating of at least one hypothetical future trajectory from other traffic participants gained by predicting the current state of the traffic participant and/or calculating of a hypothetical future state sequence of the infrastructure element, calculating a plurality of a risk functions over future time or along the calculated hypothetical future ego-trajectory alternatives, wherein one risk function corresponds to one ego-trajectory alternative, combining the plurality of risk functions into a risk map, and analyzing the risk map and generating a control signal for assisting the driving of the ego-vehicle.
