Abstract

A method for determining an idealized passing maneuver includes receiving first data values that represent a passing maneuver of a first vehicle to pass a second vehicle, requesting and receiving surroundings data values that represent instantaneous and/or future surroundings of the first vehicle and/or of the second vehicle, determining a surroundings model of the first vehicle based on the surroundings data values and on a digital map that represents the instantaneous and/or future surroundings of the first vehicle and/or of the second vehicle, determining an idealized passing maneuver for the first vehicle to carry out the passing maneuver based on the surroundings model, and providing the idealized passing maneuver in the form of second data values for receipt by the first vehicle.
