Abstract
A method for controlling the lateral position of a vehicle on a traffic lane includes: a first controlling of the vehicle following a first reference trajectory, alerting the driver if the lateral distance separating the vehicle from the edge of the traffic lane is less than a first threshold, then detecting a command applied to a steering wheel of the vehicle, then a second controlling of the vehicle following a second reference trajectory, the second trajectory being determined depending on the command applied to the steering wheel, and alerting the driver if the lateral distance separating the vehicle from the edge of the traffic lane is less than a second threshold, the second threshold being less than the first threshold.
