Abstract

The present invention relates to a method of cooperatively coordinating future driving maneuvers of a vehicle with fellow maneuvers of at least one fellow vehicle, wherein a fellow data packet is received from the fellow vehicle, in which a fellow trajectory set of a fellow reference trajectory is contained, a trajectory from a trajectory set for the vehicle is selected as a reference trajectory for the vehicle using the fellow reference trajectory, wherein a trajectory which is collision-free towards the fellow reference trajectory is selected, the trajectories of the trajectory set are rated using limit trajectories, and at least one cooperation trajectory is selected from the trajectories of the trajectory set using the reference effort value, wherein a data packet containing the reference trajectory and the cooperation trajectory is transmitted to the fellow vehicle.
