1. A method for avoiding a collision between a first traffic participant and a second traffic participant, wherein a first movement profile is assigned to the first traffic participant, and wherein a second movement profile is assigned to the second traffic participant, the method comprising:
obtaining a first probability cone in a space comprising at least two geographical dimensions, wherein the first probability cone is based on the first movement profile and represents a probability of a location, in the space comprising at least two geographical dimensions, of the first traffic participant at one or more times in the future;
obtaining a second probability cone in the space comprising at least two geographical dimensions, wherein the second probability cone is based on the second movement profile and represents a probability of a location, in the space comprising at least two geographical dimensions, of the second traffic participant at one or more times in the future;
superimposing, by a mobile device, the first probability cone and the second probability cone in the space comprising at least two geographical dimensions; and
determining, by the mobile device, a collision probability based on the superimposing the first probability cone and the second probability cone.
