Abstract
Method of assisting a motor vehicle in changing from a current lane to an adjacent target lane. The space in front and the space behind the vehicle at least in the adjacent target lane is monitored, the distance of objects (in particular vehicles) detected there, and their speeds are measured, and safety distances calculated therefrom. If all the measured distances are greater than the calculated safety distances, a possible lane change is signalled.
