Abstract

An adaptive lane-keeping system for a commercial vehicle, including: an input module for entering sensor data from at least one sensor which is configured to detect the surroundings of the commercial vehicle; an evaluation module for evaluating the sensor data to determine a relative position of the commercial vehicle on a road; a lane-keeping module for controlling a steering system of the commercial vehicle based on a lane-keeping profile that defines a torque to be applied to a steering wheel of the commercial vehicle to support keeping in a lane; and a change module for changing the lane-keeping profile in response to a change in the detected environment. Also described is a related commercial vehicle, method, and computer readable medium.
