Abstract: A method for assisting a driver of a vehicle in maintaining a lane includes: detecting driving state measurement signals of a vehicle; ascertaining a driving trajectory of the vehicle based on the detected driving state measurement signals; detecting surroundings information signals of the vehicle; ascertaining a lane trajectory of the lane based on the surroundings information signals; ascertaining points of intersection of the ascertained driving trajectory with the ascertained lane trajectory; determining, based on the ascertained points of intersection, whether a lane return situation is present in connection with a determined a lane departure situation; and emitting a signal to effectuate an assistance of the driver in maintaining the lane based on the determination.

Abstract: A method for assisting a vehicle user during a lane change maneuver includes receiving a navigation command for performing the lane change maneuver from a second lane to a first lane of a road; searching for gaps for the vehicle in the first lane and selecting one of the gaps; defining a far field, a mid field and a near field; and performing the search and/or the selection of the gap according to a predefined sequence in which first a region of the far field, then a region of the mid field, and then the near field are checked.

Abstract: A method for operating a control system for the automated lateral guidance of a vehicle includes determining a target variable for the automated lateral guidance of the vehicle, determining a manipulated variable for a steering actuator by a controller device, adapting adjustment parameters, which describe a controlled variable of the controller device and/or an output from the steering actuator, for different driving functions of the vehicle, receiving a request signal to output haptic feedback on a steering wheel of the vehicle, outputting a feedback signal for adapting the target variable for the output of the haptic feedback on the steering wheel during the automated lateral guidance of the vehicle, and adapting the feedback signal and/or the adjustment parameters during the output of the haptic feedback in such a manner that perception of the haptic feedback by a driver is the same irrespective of the driving function of the vehicle.

Abstract: A method for maneuvering a vehicle on a multi-lane road includes receiving a navigation command for carrying out a lane change maneuver from a second traffic lane of the road via a first traffic lane of a road to a deceleration lane of the road; determining a distance between the vehicle and a starting point of the deceleration lane, wherein the distance is determined using sensor data from an environment sensor and/or using digital map data; preparing the lane change maneuver from the second traffic lane to the first traffic lane depending on the distance; detecting a road sign indicating a distance to the exit; determining a piece of distance information indicated by the road sign; and determining the distance between the vehicle and the starting point of the deceleration lane in addition depending on the distance information.

Abstract: A method for assisting a user of a vehicle when maneuvering the vehicle on a multi-lane road includes receiving a navigation command to guide the vehicle from a second lane of the road via a first lane of the road to an exit of the road. A lane change maneuver from the second lane to the first lane is prepared. Suitable gaps for the vehicle between further road users on the first lane to carry out the lane change maneuver are searched for. If no suitable gap is found, currently unsuitable gap with respect to the dimensions between the road users on the first lane is searched for. A driving maneuver and/or vehicle function is executed in such a way that an intention to carry out the lane change maneuver by the vehicle into the unsuitable gap is indicated to the road users delimiting the unsuitable gap.

Abstract: A method for assisting a user of a vehicle during the maneuvering of the vehicle on a multi-lane road includes receiving a travel command to maneuver the vehicle from a second lane of the road across a first lane of the road onto an exit of the road, searching for a free gap for the vehicle between road users in the first lane, issuing an indication to the user to actuate an operator control element to initiate a lane change maneuver from the second lane into the free gap in the first lane, wherein the indication is issued at a certain indication time, determining a total reaction time which describes a duration between the issuing of the indication and the initiation of the lane change maneuver, determining an individual reaction factor of the user based on the total reaction time and adapting the indication time for subsequent maneuvering of the vehicle on the basis of the individual reaction factor.

Abstract: A method for maneuvering a vehicle on a multi-lane road has the steps of: receiving a driving command for maneuvering the vehicle from a second lane of the road, across a first lane of the road, to an exit of the road; preparing for a lane change maneuver from the second lane to the first lane, wherein, in order to prepare for the lane change maneuver, a speed of the vehicle is adjusted starting from an original first starting time before the exit is reached by the vehicle; checking whether the adjustment of the speed in order to prepare for the lane change maneuver of the vehicle starting from the first starting time is accepted by a user of the vehicle; and adjusting the first starting time for subsequent maneuvering of the vehicle on a multi-lane road on the basis of the check.

Abstract: A method for maneuvering a vehicle on a multi-lane road has the steps of: receiving a driving command for maneuvering the vehicle from a first traffic lane of the road via a second traffic lane of the road to an exit of the road; preparing a lane change maneuver from the first traffic lane to the second traffic lane, a speed of the vehicle being adapted for the preparation of the lane change maneuver; determining a gradient of the road in a region of the exit; and adapting the preparation of the lane change maneuver in a manner which is dependent on the determined gradient.
