    Abstract: A method is performed for selecting a traffic lane of a roundabout for a motor vehicle traveling in the roundabout that has a plurality of traffic lanes and a plurality of exits. The method includes detecting the traffic lanes of the roundabout and third party driving on the traffic lanes, determining a first data relating to an occupancy level of the traffic lanes under consideration by third party vehicles, and a second data relative to the number of traffic lanes to be crossed in order to change traffic lanes from a current traffic lane to the lane in question, calculating the value of a cost function for each of the traffic lanes of the portion depending on the first data and the second data, and selecting one of the traffic lanes for the motor vehicle depending on each calculated value of the cost function.
