Abstract

A method is provided for maneuver planning and implementation for a vehicle by a vehicle-internal control unit. The control unit includes a strategic planning level for carrying out route planning, a tactical planning level for providing lane-accurate trajectories to possible destination points, and an operative planning level for selecting a destination point and a negotiable trajectory to the selected destination point. The planning levels have a cascading design. When each planning level is executed, an information exchange with neighboring vehicles is carried out via a communication link in order to ascertain collisions. When a collision is ascertained in at least one planning level, a maneuver coordination is carried out between the vehicles via the communication link. Moreover, a control unit is provided.
