  • Publication number: 20220161800
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for carrying out a driving maneuver for creating a gap in the traffic flow, which is multiple lanes wide, involving a first vehicle and a plurality of second vehicles. The first vehicle, which requests the gap in the traffic flow periodically sends corresponding request signals at least to a plurality of second vehicles. The second vehicles that intend to comply with the request send out corresponding signaling signals. As soon as a sufficient minimum number of second vehicles that intend to comply with the request can be determined, the second vehicles participating in the driving maneuver for creating the gap in the traffic flow are informed. The second vehicles participating in the driving maneuver agree on the beginning of the driving maneuver and mutually coordinate their trajectories. One of the second vehicles is designated as the maneuver leader and transmits at least one characteristic of the gap in the traffic flow to the first vehicle.
