Abstract

A method for supporting a driver driving a vehicle involves monitoring an environment surrounding the vehicle, detecting road users at a crossing or intersection, and emitting indications concerning priority rules to the driver. The indications are emitted to the driver as symbols overlapping the surrounding environment on a display unit or overlapping an image of the surrounding environment.
